I just setup a dual boot with Mandrake 9.2 and RedHat 9.0. I am too new to linux to
really have an educated preference but I like the look of KDE a little better. Also, just
installed Fedora on my other box. Now I have an opportunity to screw up three Linux OS's.

fedora, gnome

 

[OZEE]

Mandrake 9.1, gnome

Both KDE and GNOME have made some big improvements since last time noticed one of these polls here.

Out of curiosity, what do you see as the big GNOME improvements? I've always been a GNOME fan, but the last AT poll I recall was probably early in GNOME 2.2, and I don't see anything huge separating 2.2 from 2.4.

Not debating or anything - I just find it interesting how everyone has their own little deciding factors in evaluating desktops.


edit: Oh, yeah... while I'm at it, if y'all haven't checked out XFCE4, you really should. I just finished setting it up on my laptop from work - 1GHz Celeron w/256MB of PC133 and crappy video. GNOME worked, but felt a bit too sluggish. XFCE4, however, is sweet. Much nicer than the old version, IMO.

Fedora FVWM

Personally I like gnome because I found it's easier to customize. Plus it's easy to set my own little private scripts as icons on the taskbar.

Metacity is something I don't like, but it's nice to be able to get rid of it easily. On /. is full of kde fans, they rave about how the copy paste crap is better and has a more unified interface, but that doesn't matter to me a whole lot.

Debian/Slack
Gnome

 

[Armitage]

KDE
Everytime I decide to try Gnome I just end up getting annoyed with it. Can't think of anything specific, just can't find the patience to give it a fair shot I guess.

Of course, now I have to work on SGI & Win2k ... ugh. Can't wait to get home to my linux box
