Funky! Brings back memories from doing my Linux admin under CDE... :-)

Which distro? I was administering DEC Alphas for the Physics Department in the latter 1990s, and they had Motif/CDE on them. That was the origin of the multiple-desktops idea, of course. Though I can’t remember if you could set it to have any number other than four. Later, when we went Linux on Dell servers, we switched to SuSE, and as you may know, they were KDE fans.
