He does that allot, said there was no CDE for linux than when I presented one he said ti was crap (could not back it up) then left..
Ewwww... Who would want to run CDE on Linux when there are so many other better alternatives? CDE is evil, slow and ugly :-)
I guess it would make sense if you want consistancy across a mixed unix shop, but I know of few people who would willingly use CDE unless they had to.
