GNOME is "first among equals" to be sure - it's what we have the most expertise with, it's what we support and the GNOME project has a design goal that's consistent with Red Hat's own. There's a natural alignment. So if the Red Hat folks decide that we want to do a single CD install, it will probably use GNOME as the desktop and its apps as the defaults. That's not to say that we wouldn't enable others to create something KDE-based or xfce based. Quite the opposite, we would encourage it. We just wouldn't spend a huge amount of time on it ourselves. --Chris
