Is the multiple workspace still as necessary ?

Most people have 24" monitors?

it's the laptop that won't fit in your car.

I love how a lot of Linux users seem to think all computer users have kickass hardware and would really prefer the command line if only they would give it a chance.

i have a 1gb nvidea card just so i can use the console. i'd never back to using x.

Windows does not support multiple workspace as default, although there are some utilities that makes multiple workspace on Windows, but all of them are not good and comfort as GNOME, KDE, Xfce does. That is one of big reason why I change my main OS to Ubuntu.

I always seem to end up with a large number of terminals and file browsers open, keepng them all on one workspace is too hard to orginise. I usaly have one workspace just for GIMP

English is used more by us non native English speakers. Your english is perfect. English tolerates even those of us who make mistakes. As long as we manage to communicate our thoughts, I do not see why anyone would complain

I completely agree, language is about getting ideas across, if you can do that there's no point worrying unecessarily about grammatical conventions.

you might like one of the tiling window managers. they're perfect for the situation you describe. my favorites are dwm, awesome, xmonad and wmii.

Well, I love 'em, dunno how I ever managed without them.

I have 16 workspaces - blooming handy!

I use each multiple desktop for a different app. One for work, one for firefox, and another for pidgin. Highly useful, it makes me feel less cluttered.
