Does not gnome already come with utilities to administrate users? I have =

What do you mean? Are you talking about a program to browse files, or=20
administer your hard disk(s) partions? Both gnome and kde come with file=20
browsers. I would reccomend that you dont use a gui utility (if one even=20
exists) to manage your hard disk partions. But learn how to do it from th=

command line, because if you do have troubles with hard disk partions and=

This is probably not a very helpful answer, in choosing between gnome and=

kde (for me personally) won because the kde mail client is very nice! You=

could probably run the kde mail client under gnome...
