Ok so I've always been confused by how often I see this come
up... don't FreeBSD, and Debian, and Ubuntu, and Redhat, and OpenBSD,
etc. all ship a huge variety of window managers and desktop environments
right there in the package manager? I guess I haven't run Gnome in 15
years but everything else I ever want (fvwm, xfce, stumpwm, twm, KDE) is
always available with a quick install command.

I remember for a long time people would talk about how they were going
to install Xubuntu or Kubuntu or Lubuntu because they didn't like the
Gnome interface on Ubuntu... blow away your whole root partition rather
than run "apt-get install kde"?
