Yeah I agree with this. I was amazed that anyone would state KDE 3.x is faster than Gnome2.x environment. I have consistently found this to be opposite the case. Nautilus for gnome 2.0 is much quicker BTW. However, I think you should try both out before deciding. I know this is a pain because it means installing both desktops. I know this from personal experience because now wife has switched from KDE to Gnome and I have been contemplating removing the packages myself. -- Johnathan Bailes BAE Systems ESI "UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things." - Doug Gwyn --- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
