I have been doing this since RH9. The issue I am addressing is the new 
user who won't even be aware (I assure you) of a KDE spin, let alone the 
netinstall image. I concede that I was unaware of the netinstall.

I honestly don't know how we are attracting new users from Windows (at 
least that used to be a goal). They are going to end up with Gnome 
.whatever which is about as much fun as a colonoscopy. At least in the 
latter you get some great drugs. "Activities?" Seriously?
