Gnome and KDE both take up a lot of disc space, but that's not really a problem nowadays. It is possible to operate with no DE, just with a window manager, and you can also install a few of those and select them with the login manager. But if you are comparing desktops, it seems likely that a window manager alone would not suit you. Most applications that come with particular DEs can also be installed and run with other DEs. I use the Gnome alacarte menu manager, but I don't have most of Gnome installed and use Xfce4 DE. I have the Gnome Nautilus file manager installed, but normally use Thunar, the Xfce4 one. -- Joe
