I used KDE from the beginning and switched to Gnome in '02 and never looked back. I found KDE to big... and compiling KDE is a BITCH exactly because of QT... QT stuff takes forever to build! Maybe people on super fast hardware don't care, but on my p3 compiling KDE might as well take a week. Honestly once I moved to Gnome I found the simplicity exactly what I want in a Desktop. I like to leave the complexity to the console. -sb
