I say that just to stick fingers up the various KDE fanboys on this list. There's plenty that extoll it's virtues (that I don't care for - it emphasises prettiness and endless fiddling over actually using the computer, and the current incarnation is far from ready for use), compared against fewer people that evangelise Gnome over KDE. But being more serious. Fedora uses Gnome by default, the documentation shows you how to use it with Gnome, much of the configuration uses Gnome tools, etc. The other window managers are *alternatives*. If you're starting out as a Linux newbie, and want an easier start, it's probably much easier to do so with Gnome. Then once you've got your footing, you can try out the alternatives. I've tried and used several window managers. KDE is a time waster, Gnome just works. Some of the lighter weight ones don't work, without a big fight, with recent versions of Fedora (which seems to depend on Gnome or KDE triggering off a few things that says the current user of the console should have sound, should connect to a network, should mount an inserted disc, etc.). When you use some alternative window managers, you have to handle all of that yourself, manually. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
