It's been my experience that KDE is a little easier to learn if one is coming from Win32, while GNOME is more of an experienced user's WM. Now, GNOME can be setup to be a very simple interface as well. IMHO they're both entirely too large and the whole world would be better of with WindowMaker or Blackbox ;-) I built a Linux box for my Mom and put WindowMaker and KDE on it. She prefers WindowMaker because it's so simple and straightforward. KDE and GNOME are *very* busy desktops. I've used both and liked them, though others are better. Totally a matter of taste. JB PS: On my RISC box here at work (with 4 GB or RAM) I run KDE - it's perfect for the user with 8+ desktops open and full at all times. |-John Bleichert----syborg@stny.rr.com----------------| |-------------------http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg--| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
