KDE or GNOME
![]() |
Hi there,
KDE and Gnome are nice GUI desktops which help you browse your OS like Windows does.
Gnome looks nice, but KDE 3.x is looking really nice. I have always used KDE, it feels and operates more professional to me. So I prefer that.
Good luck!
My vote goes to KDE

No problem.
There are a lot of programs that say they are for Gnome, but they work perfectly ok on KDE. And on almost any 16mb+ video card it looks amazing.

Good point Tekmaven, I installed both to see what they both offered. I have migrated to kde, just didn't like the feel of gnome.

Glad to see you already made your decision by testing both, so this information will be rhetorical at best.
KDE has been historically known for doing "latest and greatest" as far as features. They try to sit on the bleeding edge of their niche, that being GUIs for *nix.
Gnome is their opposite in a way, as Gnome has shown that they will not implement something into their GUI until it is for all intents and purposes, bug-free. This is not to say that bugs aren't present, but that they have a very long incubation time on anything they consider introducing.
It's two schools of thought, and neither is necessarily better, it's just about your needs and how you work.
When installing Mandrake, I've always chosen KDE because it seemed "smoother" to me, and I knew where everything was since the first time I tried it.
