Go here and choose the second option down--it's the Fedora 15 KDE Spin.

BTW, I don’t blame you one bit—I don’t like Gnome, either :)

Fedora's overall graphics seemed "rougher around the edges too.
Got the sound to work on the PC ... the speakers were defaulted to MUTE mode.
I should have checked that first - like checking to make sure the PC is plugged in when it won't power up. Oy ...

Ockham’s razor — Don’t overlook the simpler explanation for the more complex.

I used to work the helpdesk, so I should have asked you about the user interface first before assuming a module problem...

Oh, well, I happy you fixed your problem.

My first personal pc was a Commodore 128...I thought I was pretty "tubular" at the time.

You could try kubuntu on this....

Commodore 64
