ok. i'm kinda wondering...what's da PROS and the cons of KDE and GNOME? like is one more stable than the other, one has more in to it? what da diff. all i know is that gnome was build on top of KDE.
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219980&highlight=Gnome+KDE It's Gnome vs. KDE thread it will describe everything you want to know
Yes...I think so.....It's all personal preference....but I heard that KDE crashes alot.. And also KDE is built on top of GNOME not the other way around
It is personal preference, but I've had no problems with KDE. Hasn't crashed at all. Like the link provided states you can install both (on most distros) and check out which one you like best.
I have been using Suse and KDE long time and havent see any crashing. I tried gnome and its okey but i went back to KDE.
i used to have loads of grief with KDE, but latest versions seem to have been very stable. Used to use Gnome a lot due to KDE problems but now i use only KDE and it's great, especially the way it allows randomising of wallpapers
Not by default you can install it later......And BTW Redhat can be used for Desktop use,but it's good for server use. I would stick with another distro...Debian is good for beginners and so is Fedora...But I would recommend Debian or the Debian-based Ubuntu
...and i'll wholeheartedly recommend Mandriva; even tried out Damn Small Linux (nice) today on a few machines, couple of those are even ancient Pentium 1 machines
I've started using Simply Mepis 6 recently and so far so good! It's based on Ubuntu 6.06 and uses KDE, I was using Kubuntu which is also KDE, but Mepis seems faster even though it's based off of Ubuntu now.
hmmm...the thing is i want a distro that is kde BUT has alot of rep or its known...like when i downlaod a programs and it gives me the diffent distros i want someting that its gonna be on most of them u know...one that isn't gonna be left out...and Mandriva dose look nice... but the free one is out dated though
Ummm....Every distro has KDE. Just not by default..And on most when you install you can choose KDE or Gnome. KDE and GNOME are basically the same on every distro just some diffrent packages can be installed. I don't understand what you just said there.
Most packages I have have presonally downloaded have a Debian option, which is what my distro is based on and i have seen a lot with Ubuntu as an option also, which mine is based on. You don't have to go for the BIG names, but obviously if it is a common distro you should find a bit more help easily. Distros like Ubuntu don't have KDe by default, but it is so easily installed it's not a big worry. Grab some live cds and have a play, see which you prefer.
