I use GNOME. When I first seriously tried to use GNU/Linux, it was with RedHat 7.0 and KDE 1.x. KDE 1.x just stunk for me as I was still a Windows user who hated the idea of having to have a seperate panel for the taskbar, so GNOME has been my choice ever since. KDE's got a *lot* of niceties these days, so I'm not going to reccommend against it, either. The GNOME programs seem to run much faster and be more useful than equivalent KDE apps. In KDE's defense, however, I am using KMail right now because ever since I upgraded Evolution through Red Carpet, it hasn't been working properly, and the Qt toolkit has nicer results. If you *really* want to think differently, however, you might want to try WindowMaker, which is based on the OpenStep specs (first used in Steve Jobs' NeXTStep computers). But WindowMaker isn't as useful as GNOME/KDE, so consider that, too. Hope this helps. -J.
