Thanks for sharing your experience and your perspective, Matt

From your comments, I'm guessing that you have never tried PCL. You
might enjoy giving it a spin some time.  If you had ever tried PCL, I
seriously doubt that you would have ever gone to Ubuntu.

For me, the multiple desktop feature is a major issue.  I am using 4
desktops most of the time and may need to add a 5th. I can't imagine
trying to do my work without this feature above all else.

Like you, I also tried Suse, and I can certainly understand why you
would have switched away from it.

I definitely prefer kde and su and can't imagine giving up either.

There are *no* bugs that I know of with PCL (The virtual box problem
that I recently discussed is a virtual box problem, not a PCL
problem.)

Works perfectly with PCL

No problem here with PCL.

No problems like this with PCL

I've never had to submit a bug report on PCL.

To each his own ;)
