Windows is the sort of thing I was thinking of. Someone said to me the
other day that they were running Linux and I asked what sort. "KDE"
was the reply. Obviously this is both good and bad. (Said person did
click to what they had just said and named the distro which is between
"Linux" and "Network" in the dictionary). Made me think.
