 'Unified' is probably not accurate and too strong of a term. However they
did have a common theme that they applied to both Gnome and KDE called
BlueCurve so they now look more similar than they ever have. When I first
tried it, I really didn't like it much. However, I've gotten used to it
and now I *really* like it.

 BTW, YDL3.0 is really RH8/9, and it does have the same BlueCurve
'unification' that RedHat does. Before YDL 3.0 was out, I was running
RH8.0 on my Intel machine and it is now running RH9. I'm glad I did this, 
cuz this way, I was pissed at RH for a short time until I got used to 
BlueCurve. When YDL 3.0 came out, I was already used to it and so I was 
just a happy camper. :-)

Cheers,

Chris
