I run my desktop like this so I can run amarok, krita and digikam in a gnome environment. Why - because I prefer them to the gnome equivalents but still prefer the feel of gnome to the feel of kde. Thankfully with free software I have this choice and can make my set up as I like it :)
However I wouldn't dream of doing this on an old machine - but then I wouldn't run gnome either - I'd use Xubuntu as it's more lightweight. The machine I'm typing on now is so old (p166 laptop) I wouldn't really put anything other than fluxbox on it ;) Caroline (secretlondon) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
