>From what I have been able to gather, it seems that GNOME is big in the USA, but over in Europe it looks like KDE rules the desktop, I prefer KDE for my personal taste over GNOME which seems more like WINDOWS and probably the reason RED Hat it to convert Windoze users, KDE on the other hand in my opinion, is crisp clean and refreshing.

I have so far detected no groundswell of interest on their part in changing this orientation anytime soon. If you're planning on compiling KDE from source anyway, Gentoo then becomes an excellent option; it makes the process a fairly painless one. -- Bill Mullen RLU #270075 _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
