Why do you think so? Is # the answer 'neither?' This question has sparked off several flame-fests and the answer, for me the answer is KDE... but for others... it's GNOME. It depends on the point of view (ie: true 'openness' and 'freeness' in the sense of the GPL, etc., ease of use, intuitiveness, stability, etc.) Why is KDE better in my point of view? I just like it's relative simplicity, usage of a toolkit (I like QT better than GTK in some cases), and it's looks/layout. It's closer to Windows/Mac and KDE 2.1.x is very stable and nimble on my machines (one is a P2-350 with 64MB of RAM, one is an IBM Thinkpad with a P3-800 with 384MB, one used to be a P-200 with 48MB). -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
