Desktop Environment
Now I know this is a bit of a religious question, but I was wondering which desktop environment you lot use. Personally I'm a KDE man, it was the first desktop environment i ever used and I've tried Gnome but I just prefer the cohesiveness of KDE.

Well, I chose Gnome, because I use it the most at the moment. I've used and liked KDE a lot in the past and I like the simplicity (and speed!) of ICEWM although I do, unlike many, prefer bells and whistles.:o Also, I never really caught on to the blackbox/fluxbox/*box craze..
BTW ug, just a nitpick on this poll:
You should either change the poll name to "Which Desktop Environment you prefer" or change the poll items to be -
--gdm (GNOME)
--kdm (KDE)
--other
Because wm's and de's are different. Just so no one gets confused or anything..

I like Gnome although I have yet to try KDE (at least seriously) although I kind of want to try one of those super lightweight ones (like XFCE4) to see myself zoom with speed.

FC2 (and the test releases) comes with XFCE4. Can't wait to try it out. The screenshots at xfce.org really appeal to me.

So why do people generally use Gnome over KDE then?

I should be off to Nottingham University in September to do Politics.
You've probably heard of it.
