Like the other posts are saying, they basically each cover the same ground in a good way. Something that may not be obvious if you stayed so far from X is that you can perfectly happily run gnome apps in a KDE desktop and vice-versa. The main thing you're choosing is the desktop and start 'panel', you can have ghex in KDE and khexedit in gnome for example. So the choice matters less in practical terms than you might think. That said, I started with Gnome and found Nautilus, the "explorer" type app, bogged down unusably if you had a few instances open. I don't know if that is still the case since 7.3 or 8 or whatever, because I tried KDE and really liked it. Konqueror, the equivalent to Nautilus in KDE doesn't suffer slowdowns on having many instances open. Despite the fact you only want one desktop interface, the best advice is to give both of them a go, if you want to lose kde its just half-a-dozen or so rpms to -e, don't know about gnome. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/urPpjKeDCxMJCTIRAhifAJ4h3gH6iQT7Anv7gy1FVDiOLclUBQCcDoTW sIEqcLytfqynC3CTw/872Jw= =ppde -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
