"Win" wins - for now

When I first moved into a Windows desktop environment after spending 18 months on RH Linux and the sweet and customizable KDE widgets, I cursed and ranted some of the interface features, principally the lack of desktop workspaces that helped me group my windows (and helping my mental focus) effectively. After 9 months now on Windows, I now had a choice again between the two environments since it didn't matter which one I used - I didn't think I'd have so much trouble getting set up back on RH. Sadly I failed to make the transition after trying hard for a few days, essentially because I was unable to install stuff that I needed and then get them to behave the way I wanted to. It needed a lot more time that I didn't have and so feeling the prickles of frustration creeping up, I moved back to the Win 2K env and ended up setting up things in a jiffy. So I'm going to be there for a while till I can slowly get things in RH going. A lesson for me in the challenges that the Linux guys are going to have in persuading people to leave the much more comfortable lifestyle of the Windows ambience.
