I'm still inclined toward KDE just due to productivity and functionality. Even after upgrading/updating and getting Gnome 2.2.0, it is still lacking in alot of functionality and consistency throughout all the "Gnome" applications - consistency in dialogs, window operations, program operations - still a bit of a kludge - but that's IMHO. > So, my recommendation, at least through Red Hat 8.0, is to taker them > both!
