As knoppix booted up for the first time, it started a Desktop Settings Wizard (which you can restart from the K menu (Settings -> Control Center -> Desktop Settings Wizard)). It provided some interesting information comparing KDE, Unix, Windows and the Mac: This is paraphrased from my handwritten notes. Why didn't I just wait till I got the system on the network and then copy and paste?

OS	KDE	UNIX	Windows	MacOS
Window Actuation	Focus on click	Focus follows mouse	Focus on click	Focus on click
Titlebar Double Click	Shade window	Window to back	Maximize window	Shade window
Mouse selection	Single click	Single click	Double click	Single click
App startup notification	Busy cursor	none	Busy cursor	none
Keyboard Scheme	KDE default	UNIX	Windows	Mac

I need to change the title. As I typed this I realized no one (not even me) would ever come here looking for this information under this title. Needs to be something like OsGUIComparison.
