I think you should decide whether you want to use KDE or Gnome on your own. If possible just play with them both for a while. Remember that which environment you use doesn't really have much to do with what applications you can run, as it's fairly easy to install Gnome Applications on KDE and vice versa. I personally use Gnome on my laptop, which is mostly used for web browsing, and use a desktop (wmaker) that's lighter than either of them on my desktop. If you do decide to run KDE on Ubuntu and don't expect to install gnome applications, you'll probably save some disk space by installing kubuntu in the first place rather than installing the Ubuntu desktop with gnome and then putting KDE on. What I do for the desktop is install Xubuntu, so that I then end up installing only the parts of KDE and Gnome that I need for the apps I run. Which probably ends up being most of them. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 I have only one superstition.
