Everyone has a different opinion about desktop environments, and there are many Fedora users, including myself, who prefer KDE, but it is not a clear majority. GNOME will remain the default environment for Fedora Core, and KDE will continue to be an install-time option. Through Fedora Core 6, KDE will remain in Fedora Core. We're hoping to move it to Extras for Fedora Core 7. Once there, we hope to make it available on a separate disc so that users may choose whether to download GNOME or KDE and can choose either one by taking advantage of planned improvements in Anaconda, the Fedora Core installer. We hope that KDE will see better care in Extras, where the community can more easily work on it, than it currently gets in Core. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnleashKDE http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/KDE -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
