I run (GNOME) Ubuntu.. [1] ..but then install KDE onto it immediately ;-) [1] Originally, when Ubuntu had more developer resources going into GNOME, it just seemed a safer bet to stick with the standard system for critical tasks such as system upgrades. I don't think there's all that much to choose between KDE and GNOME these days (although sometimes I do get that feeling that GNOME is just that bit too simplified/restrictive). However, really the only reasons I use KDE are: It's what I know best; back in the day, pre-Ubuntu, GNOME was confusing to install - what, you need GNOME, and some window manager, and..? Trying to find all the right packages was confusing! With KDE you just looked for anything that began with k* ;-) I haven't yet found a replacement for KNewsTicker (which itself is rather aged - but I like it!). And of course, I run a mixture of KDE and GNOME apps depending on preference, so ultimately I see little point in getting too fanatical about it.. David. -- David M.
