I had a quick look at GNome but thought that KDE was better.
I am still at the earlier stage where I could be swayed either way so I am
curious,
what about GNome is better? Are the built in tool better?
If I were to install it, do I get a working email client and ICQ client
(both graphical) and maybe (but less important) a working (even shitty)
browser?
KDE seems to have some redraw issues (ie, it doesn't do it enough) and
some general stability issues. I really quite like it, but am curious
about my options (that is why I have been trying Linux on the desktop in
the first place - so I have options).
Are there good C IDE available for it? KDevelop is giving me trouble with
installation.
Anyways, thanks.
