Fake. The icons wouldn't "blink" any faster even though it loads faster.

KDE4 isn't really meant for normal use yet. Even the KDE developers recommend you use KDE 3.5 for stability.

It's sort of a preview release for developers and others who just want to try it out.

I'm using it right now and really like it. It's the only desktop environment really comparable to Vista's Aero and OS X's Aqua.

I also use XFCE for a stable DE

[mcfartard]

what did you record this with a poptart ?

[martmelee]

arch linux for the fastest boot you will ever get.

slackware for the most stable distro.

[Hyperknuck1]

still the slowest DE out there

You'll probably end up with a custom built Ubuntu installation with a light WM like IceWM or fluxbox.

[cumulus0007]

But fluxbox isn't even close to the functionality and modernity of KDE 4.

[dudesk099]

Want a real treat? Try slackware with fluxbox. ON a virtual machine, a full boot is under 10 seconds.

For a beginner/non expert use Xubuntu. For Linux expert use Arch Linux.

Thanks! I have DSL now!

[srbahamut]

xubuntu

[aleyton003]

you could always try a light version of linux like DSL (Damn Small Linux) or something that runs with little impact like that. depends on what features you want.
