When support for KDE 3.5 was dropped in Debian, I moved through several DE (KDE4, Gnome 2 & 3, Xfce) but none of them fully satisfied my needs, for a reason or another. Then I discovered TDE and I immediately felt at home: finally I could use again a productive and complete DE without having to keep fighting every day with features that either I didn't need (and couldn't remove) or that didn't stay where I placed them. The TDE development team is very friendly, so anyone (myself included) can contribute to preserve and enhance this fantastic DE. ------------------------------ Cheers Michele
