KDE seems to be more inclined to develop cool stuff for the newbie/end-user, like SuperKaramba, transparency, etc. Gnome seems to be in kinda a rut lately, tho there are a lot of cool things for Gnome as well. I personally *hate* KDE, but that's just me. Bloat (like Gnome) with incompatible themes (qt) and a more and more Windows-like interface. Plus, for a lot of people, KDE is simply what comes up first! Personally, if you like Gnome's interface, I would recommend XFCE4, which has 9.1 rpms on it's site courtesy of Todd Slater (yay Todd!) If yer into giving Gnome a chance, there are some sites to customise your desktop and such: http://www.gnomedesktop.org/index.php this site will link you to many Gnome resources! -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 ++++++++++++++++++++++ Once you've tried to change the world you find it's a whole bunch easier to change your mind.
