 I see here that there are NetBSD desktops. It comes with Kde 3.2, Gnome
2.4.1 and Xfce-4.0.3.

Is Nate around ? Maybe he knows about this?

My take is that the *BSD's are not all that bad. My FreeBSD thinkpad
works well. BTW The Harmony WiFi card I got from Steven Pritchard works
*perfectly* in FreeBSD 4.9. I have no reason to doubt that it will work
very well in 5.2.
