the only thing I hate about kde is 1) it's flabby and 2) I feel it it too
much of a windows simulator.. (am I the only one who thinks the kde package
resembles a windows/mac type environment more than the other xmanagers?). I
use SuSE and it comes with a mass of kde aps and stuff. I just hate the look
and the flab of the programs, they give me horrible deja vu of being on a
windows box. I do think it's friendly to the user migrating from the Win/Mac
environment though.
BTW SuSE comes with YaST which has a user management gui built into the
startup screen so that you can add new users and perform other functions
from the gui, such as upgrads, network configuration, device setups etc.
Maybe you shoudl try the SuSE demo to see if you like it... (this si
directed at the guy asking about usermanagement tools) Anyways....
