> Personally, I'm not sure Lindows even realises that they are supporting a non-KDE web development app. Notice that they also support Gaim and Mozilla, which are generally the more well known apps. Do they know Quanta even exists?

Probably.. . I think they want to make a replacement for Frontpage (which Mozilla's composer/Nvu is becoming more like) rather than Dreamweaver (which Quanta is fast becoming more like)

As for Gaim versus Kopete, they started supporting Gaim when Kopete had just started. The rest of the KDE apps weren't mature yet. Kevin Carmony (president of Lindows) recently said (http://dot.kde.org/1074759718/1074981221/addPostingForm) they would switch to kopete if they deem it a "better fit". As kopete matures I think they'll do that.

As for Mozilla versus Konqueror (as web browser); once again, they probably evaluated Konqueror when it wasn't mature. I think for more and more people, it is becoming mature enough. Perhaps they will switch in the future.

Same thing with OpenOffice versus KOffice, although I don't think koffice is there yet(tm).
