| Anybody have any opinions on which desktop is more versatile? I usually use GNOME with Slackware and KDE with Caldera as those are the defaults, but I have more experience with KDE as it seems a bit more flexible to me and I have played around with it a bit more. Anyone else have any other opinions? | |
|
| I'm using GNOME with Redhat 7, because I can't get KDE to work.

|
| I think the default of Red Hat is GNOME, although KDE seems more Windows-ish in it's interface. Persoanlly, I haven't seen a great deal of difference, but I usually head for the command line when I need to do much. I tend to keep a console ready at all times so it is not as important to me I guess except when doing graphics, but I was just wondering what everyone else thought. | |
|
| Overall I prefer KDE though I use both. KDE seems much more stable, and less of a resource hog. Gnome has what I consider a nicer feel, but KDE's catching up in version 2.
I don't know about versatility, they seem about the same in that respect. | |
|
| Well, I just bought the "KDE Bible" and am trying my hand at developing a little bit to change what I don't care for, but on the whole they seem quite similar to me. | |
|
| I like KDE because of the 'look and feel' better than GNOME, especially with the 'Matrix Theme' with KDE, its cool!
The sad thing is KDE can't do Japanese menus, I have to switch desktop to GNOME for Japanese editing. | |
|
| That bites! Is there no way that you can get the fonts needed for the Japanese menus? have you tried checking the Turbo Linux package? I think it is used more widely in Japan and may have the features that you are looking for if you manage to get it from overseas. | |
|
| I used RH 6.2 GNOME. I found it most user friendly, but one u get into this "L" u might try KDE.....
There many thing that "WE" can explore in Linux.
Specially, if u workin on the RH. The cert is too $$$ and the only way to learn is by self-studying!
Anyone try a better free Linux system. I want to try different one.
Thanks | |

| I've found Gnome to be buggy, and it seems to crash a lot. I haven't tried KDE yet, but I'm going to soon... | |
|
| I'm running Gnome on redhat 7.0... Is KDE more more stable here? | |
|
| I would think so. KDE is more stable on every distro that I've had a chance to compare the stability on. | |
|
| I agree, while I think Gnome looks better KDE is by far the more stable counterpart. Seemed to me that my gnome-panel would always die some kind of ugly death. | |
|
| Anyone try Tubro Linux? any comment? | |
|
| Well I finally got KDE to work with caldera linux. This is after replacing cdrom and hard disk (I think this is what was giving me fits with RH 7). They both died.
I agree with the comments on KDE, it seems more stable and robust. But then again it could have been my flaky drives. I'm going to stick with KDE for a while and see how it goes.

| I found that I also had trouble with KDE when installing Caldera. The default is to boot into KDE, but this apparently wasn't successful, and I was given a binch of messages that said the server wasn't available. But I used the 'lizardx' program and chose the same settings that didn't work in the install and everything seemed to work fine. Mouse is a bit jerky, but everything else is fine. Takes some getting used to though -- there's so many things to tweak to get things the way I want them! |
