I personally find kpackage much more intuitive and therefore harder to make
mistakes in. Of course, the command line rpm command is *always* good :)
You know, I always recommend that people who have a big hard drive install
both Gnome and KDE, largely because each has some apps that are better than
the other's. Of course, you can then run those apps running a completely
different, lightweught UI. :) Anyone else like xfce for older machines?
Take care,
Caity
