[00:44:48] <exec> 08└─I've heard about it, I suppose it's something really old. meh Regarding Debian, after a few years I actually ditched it for Fedora, switching at the same time Gnome (which started making me sick) for KDE. Nice discovery for me, KDE is neat and once you tweak it a little bit, comfortable.
