The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

Heh here we have another body who talks about doesnt know what he talks about.
Look in the mirror bud.
I always come back to Windows GUI, as it is quite simple, doesnt clutter anything
Fluxbox, Windowmaker, IceWM, XFCE
What about cluttered KDE, I never liked to work with it...
KDE is much more configurable than Windows and can be made to look however you want. You can even have a desktop without ANYTHING on it in KDE if you choose.
Besides that System resource usage of those....
Linux memory management is much more effective than Windows. It may seem like Linux is using a lot of RAM but it's just being more efficient with it. If you have it, you may as well use it. Here a good lesson:

I had a problem with killing some task in Linux back in time, I coudnt remember but I remember I coudnt kill it either, system halted or something like that. Anyway maybe knowledge wasnt enough, I had to read a man page. But hey not eveybody knows or cares, It has to work somehow, but it didnt work, get my point?
The fact that it can't be done on Windows is completely different than the fact that you didn't know how to. Sure the end result is the same, for the time being, but as soon as you learn how the end result is completely different. That's all it takes with Linux. In fact you can read the man page for about 2 minutes and figure it out.
Hehe congrats you guys catched up with Windows GUI lately, once in a time you didnt even have a gui or you had something like that but it wasnt really working.
Do you actually have any clue about Linux at all? You make a lot of weird claims that make no sense. As the parent poster said, the Windows shell is ages behind as a Window Manager, and I think that's all he really said, and he's right. KDE/Gnome look prettier, function better, and are more configurable.
