My first exposure to electronics was an "Erectronics" kit, which had 16
projects, which were assembled on a piece of perf board.  That kit was
given to me by my grandfather.  It was originally given to an uncle, but
he didn't have much interest in it.  I was able to build receivers,
transmitters and other devices from that kit.  It came with one 1U4
triode, IIRC.  I was also about ten when I received it.

To me, KDE, I have no use for gnome, but for a couple of app for admin
purposes.


I do not think that one is better than the other.
I prefer gnome, has a more streamlined interface.

Neither.

Especially for you I suggest you try out BSE (Broom Stick 
Environment).

I hear it's really popular with witches.

Did you mean to ask which is butter? Butter or "I can't believe it's not

Try both and decide for yourself. KDE is more funny but there are people who 
prefer gnome. Without trying it you cannot find out your preference.

And KDE or Gnome are not the only ones. :-)
