Well, the main differences between Gnome and KDE are in what it's like to develop with them. Speaking roughly (you did ask for a flamewar afterall!) Gnome development is more focused on leveraging standards (such as CORBA), and on portability; KDE is more focused on keeping things easy and simple for developers. If you don't plan to develop with them, then a good way to choose is to look at which widget set you are using with existing apps, since GNOME apps have to use gtk+ and kde apps have to use qt. You could save resources and complication by not installing two widget sets. -- Josh Parsons Philosophy Department 1238 Social Sciences and Humanities Bldg.
