Joe Brockmeier makes a good point - it's not a bad idea to run different distros on different machines not so much to find the "one true" installation but to keep yourself in the know about how things are done in various environments.

Some people are explorers. Some are not.

Hans --

I absolutely LOVED this year's Fourth Annual Kindergarten Diorama Exhibition.

So much talent! So much unexpected attention to detail to go along with the eager young creativity. So much eagerness to please teachers, parents, and, really, just about anybody taking a serious interest in their work.

I wonder if all KDE4s are as brilliant as that one?

KDE4? I hope it is a wise lesson for Gnome 3. Finding a good, usable and likeable DE is much more time consuming than distro hopping. ;)

Hopping? Hmmmmm. Maybe that's the feature that makes it all worthwhile?

Oh, children, children, children.

It's not that I don't appreciate your efforts.

I do, really I do.

But...let's face it ---

You pale before the master.

Sorry to let everyone down, but I'm somewhat under weather today. Hmm, maybe I should fix myself some Welsh rarebit.

So Tom Jones was telling this story:

A guy on the street told me that he was really really hungry. That things were so bad that he rarely got a bite to eat, so...

I Welsh rarebit him.

What kind of twaps were you following, Doc?

Ah, train twaps.

Well, if you was following train twaps, then you must have been trying to catch a train.

I heard two guys on the radio last week who had never heard of Omar Khayyam. I really thought "The Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam" pun used by Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose would always be known.

Just a Bullwinkle aside.

Sigh. Yet more proof that American culture is going to Jello in a handbasket.

We should sit them all in a corner and make them wear the Kerward Derby.

@dino:

I would say quite the opposite. Thanks to the Internet, we are now in a position where everyone can look back and see how the cultural bits connected.

For example, Candice Bergen and John Astin each left their touch on "Addams Family Values".

Okay, you're right, it's going to Jello...

I guess I didn't see what you meant to say elsewhere, before you redacted it.
