Question Kde & Gnome

What are the differences between the two? Is there a benifit to using one over the other?

I think it's just a matter of personal opinion, some like KDE, and some like GNOME, I'm a GNOME user myself.

Well, I've just been using KDE since I first installed Mandrake, so I guess since there doesn't seem to be any benifit to switching over to GNOME, I'll stick with KDE.

Thanks guys!

Just a note, you can install both, try and decide which one to use.

Or pick any one of a dozen others !!

That could subtract from your free-time!! Pick one, pick 'em all, enjoy it, find out for yourself.

You might want to try Icewm. It's even lighter and faster than Gnome and also comes standard with many distros.

so many to choose from! I think I am in heaven. Is Icewm available on FreeBSD?
