But Knoppix only includes KDE, right? I know there are a lot of people
that love KDE but I think GNOME is easier for new users (and nicer
overall too). Note, I'm not trying to start a flame war on KDE vs.
GNOME. I just think it is better to give installee's the choice of
either or both rather than just giving them KDE and saying "this is
linux" :)
