Not to start a war here, but I really do not personally like Gnome. Never have, probably never will. But, I do like having them both installed for the rare occasion when something in KDE blows up. Then I can login to Gnome. From what I understand that if both are installed then you can run apps from either camp. That's what I do with KDE and it has a menu for Gnome applications. As was mentioned, harddrive space is fairly cheap, so why not just install both? The thing I have against relying on yum to install what's missing is that it takes forever on a slow DSL and would be a crawl over a modem. I'd rather have it pulling from the CD / Dvd any day of the week and be done with it, from the get-go. Ric --
