I saw a general survey possibly on techrepublic that alleged reasonable data collection methods (though I don't recall how the data was collected) suggesting that xfce was very close or overtaken Gnome now and KDE was the most widely used desktop. On those grounds I would therefore advocate KDE as default, however I am not fond of the lack of modularity of KDE, whereas with xfce it is a primary goal making users able to shape their debian for whatever general usage easily and fast is fast on fast systems too. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
