OK, I've decided to explain the Windows 2000 w/KDE thing.
For 2 months I've been using Linux exclusively on 2 of my 3 comps. No dual boots or anything. In that time, I have become quite accustomed to the KDE desktop. Yesterday, I finally got sick of the Windows 2000 desktop to the point that I decided to do away with it.
How I did it:
1. I installed the cygwin X server.
2. I installed the cygwin KDE 2.2 port.
3. I ran them, and have not gazed upon the EVIL windows desktop since.
Cygwin
Yuo can get cygwin on the main page, and you can find X and KDE on the "Xfree86" link on the left side of the page.
