Cool! So most of the guys here probably are KDE users? And having a KDE based distro means I get all the KOffice apps too?

I never wondered about this, but I use Firefox, Maxthon, and IE for web browsing. Is there a competitive browser for Linux? Is it better, competitive, or "close, but not there yet"? Basically, what's the best browser for Linux? Does which distro I use decide which apps I can install?

Aaargh! I know you're right, too, bro. (hope you're a guy. If not, sorry if I offended) That was like my mother telling me to "look it up" after I ask what something meant as a kid. I'm just sick of reading Wikipedia so much lately. Linux is half of wikipedia, from what I've seen. LOL
