I've heard and read lots about the GNome desktop, and a bit about the KDE desktop... Is there a preference out there? can I install both and flip back and forth between them? Just curious which route would be the better to go first... (I'd like to see both actually). -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
