    ml> i dunno... multiple desktops means one thing to me and multiple   
    ml> screens is no more than multiple windows... i had an add-on for OS/2   
    ml> called 9lives that gave it multiple desktops and each desktop had   
    ml> multiple screens/windows... later on i found one for w98 but it   
    ml> didn't work reliably and caused problems... all of my *nix   
    ml> workstation installations have had KDE on them and it defaults to 4   
    ml> desktops... one of my current ones is configured with six desktops   
    ml> and changing between each of them is like rolling a cube around to   
    ml> the one you want ;)   
      
    RW> What does the E in KDE stand for?  I've used a KDM between two   
    RW> computers before, but havn't heard of a KDE.   
      
   KDM or KVM between two computers?   
      
   as for the 'E' in 'KDE', originally 'KDE' was a word-play on Common Desktop   
   Environment... the 'K' originally was to stand for 'Kool' but that was dropped   
   and it became just 'K Desktop Environment'... so the 'E' stands for   
   'Environment' ;)
