well, the main difference between gdm and kdm is that gdm is completely independent from xdm (the "original" login-app) and that is has some "advanced features" (eg. /etc/rc.d/-like start/stop scripting capabilities).
kdm on the contrary sits on top of xdm and is something like a different "gui" for xdm, leaving it with the same issues that the underlying xdm has (security etc.). but for general usage its just the same question as if KDE or gnome is better. udo Am Fre, 2002-03-08 um 11.58 schrieb Lyvim Xaphir: > I'm curious here, because I've never tried gdm.
