Sounds like a religious question :) If you don't find any objective comparisons, do what others before you have done: install them one at a time and try them out. Personally, I used to use icewm (still do on my 486). On my new Athlong box, I started with icewm but I don't think the menu configuration is as simple as it ought. I didn't like gnome's file selector and other high-level widgets, liked XFce4 but since I also didn't like the mozilla geko browsers used Konquorer. Since that brought in most of the kde libs anyway, gave kde a try. So far, I'm sticking with it since I can easily configure anything. Then again I've got tons of ram, disk space, and cycles to spare. Good luck. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
