I am not wanting a flame-war by what I am about to ask. I am asking for honest opinions, not a "Holy War" about desktops. Do you, collectively, prefer KDE or Gnome? And why? My Linux experience, since Red Hat 5.2, has been 100% CLI based. I have never even used the GUI. I am wanting to do a fresh install of Fedora on a system, but I only want to load one desktop interface. Any non-flammatory experiences/opinions would be greatly appreciated. --- Mike <m_masi@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Rob Park wrote: > > Mike Chambers wrote: > > > >> On Mon, 2003-11-17 at 23:12, Dave Thomas wrote: > >> > >>> Most KDE mirrors dont have it yet....its pretty > fresh.
