So in some ways Anne, you have used Mandrake Linux and now Mandriva, you like KDE and as you have mentioned you will also run Mandriva 2008.0 or 2008.1 because Fedora's KDE is not there yet and you need a comfort zone. Am I right? Like Antonio M mentioned earlier, if you take the Fedora DVD the default will be gnome, if you want KDE, you would be better served using The KDE Live CD variant. I install both if I have the space, I use k3b and some KDE apps. FYI, I install both KDE and Gnome when I install Fedora onto my machines. Which one I use on a particular machine depends on which one runs better on the machine. As for stats, I do not care for them. There's Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics. For Rawhide, I would like to give KDE more of a chance, but it is not beating out Gnome for the starting position. Gnome is doing a better job for me. my $0.02 :) Thanks, Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
