I have ordered the Linux Mandrake Venus PowerPak and that has KDE as well as GNOME. And I will be wiping my RH5.2 setup and installing this one. How does GNOME compare to KDE? I intend to develop for the Linux platform so am I better to develop for GNOME (which aims to allow ease of use for desktop users - i.e. competing against M$ OSs which I am all for!) or for KDE? Does anyone have any views to add?
