irreversable <-- you need to get used to not using this word when talking about gnu/linux distro's :-) > Some peolle seem not to like kde (3) and other seems to love it. > i don't really care for either of them :-) > Any advice please ? > your best bet is to install 3 or 4 desktops. play with them all. i find that learning at least 2 of them solid will keep your interest long enough to realize that you're playing with some serious power. both kde and gnome are very snazzy.. each comes with it's own brand of config tools and desktop goodies. which one is better? you decide.. that's half the fun. if you want serious eye candy with crazy amounts of configs, i would say kde. if you want sort of plain-but-powerful, i would say go with gnome (although, beware of 'nautilus' - great app but kind of a resource hog IMO). for fun, install the following and try them out (unless of course, space on your hd is an issue): kde gnome fluxbox windowmaker the latter two being my absolute favorites. play with them all and see what you like.. there's like a million x-tops out there. but these will give you a great start! happy hacking and enjoy! remember, it's not about 'what's best'.. it's about CHOICE. to me, that means more than any eye candy will ever deliver. good luck in your quest! -jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
