> she tells me the OS is KDE (a bit of confusion there)

An aside on this, from the FLOSS report (from memory). IT managers from large
businesses & govt depts in Europe answered a questionaire, including a question
about installed OS's.

While Linux WAS a checkbox option, some respondents ticked "Other" & entered
Red Hat as the OS :-)

Not sure whether they realised that Red Hat is actually Linux or not, but it
did make the relative proportions of OS use a bit misleading :-)

(Note: the FLOSS report was a study on the take up of OpenSource by major
businesses & Govt in Europe a few years ago.)
