KDE the double deuce of desktops

KDE is so tricked out you might not even be able to install it, let alone run it. It's like Windows 7 for linux. It takes too much ram. Wouldn't install on my VM's. Barely got Ubuntu KDE on VMWare, but wouldn't work on VirtualBox. I did get KDE running on bad, but it's an older version. My 2nd bad KDE experience.

KDIFF3 katastrophe

Installing KDIFF3 added over 50 packages to my box! Basically installing KDE on my GNOME desktop. Really, a merge tool depends on a desktop?! Uninstalling took 2 hours, since Deborphan didn't recognize KDE as an orphan, so I had to manually get the ball rolling.
In short, unless you are already using KDE or you just really love KDIFF3, I suggest sticking with a GNOME or Tk based diff/merge tool, like Meld or TkDiff.
