Actually, the whole table is confusing, as Lindows' site lists the iBook at '$1,799.' Apple doesn't sell such a machine. If it did, its screen would be 14.1". And if it's the PowerBook-12, then (please) say so. Just as the Mac is not a typewriter, the PowerBook is not an iBook.

In this corner, we have the heavyweight champion of the Linux world, KDE 3.1, released on or about January 28, 2003. In the other corner, we have the challenger, GNOME 2.2, released on or about February 6, 2003. While I have not had time to explore KDE or GNOME in depth, my first impressions start with installation.
