I don't want to start an "advocacy war" on these two desktop environments, but has anybody had a chance to install and try both of them? If so, what are your impressions - good and bad - and which one do you prefer? My own experience has been that I much prefer KDE, simply because all Gnome does for me at this point is dump core as soon as I start X. Installing gnome from the ports tree is also a huge task -the libraries and dependencies dont seem to want to install properly. The KDE meta-port is much easier to install (although it can still be a bit difficult when it want to...) I would like to get Gnome working - from the documentation on their website it looks like it will be pretty good - but I have a feeling that it might take me a while to get things going... ================== Quote of the Day ===================== When you read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before.
