I used to hate KDE but then it stepped up a bit when Gnome started getting nicer.
I prefer Gnome's toolkit, but they are both quite good at this point.
If I had to choose one for certain, I'd likely choose Gnome.
Although for the most part, I only need something that will let me spawn a bunch of terminal sessions, so even a higher res console is fine for what I do on a *nix system.

I used Linux many years ago, but it was too much of a pain in the ass for me to keep using. That being said, I've recently switched all the machines in the house to dual boot. I'm easing the family into a primarily Linux world. Win98 needs to stick around a bit for the kids. My Wife will learn to live with linux as all she does is surf and shoot emails.
I still need a windows based solution as I do some ASP/SQl Server and C# stuff on the side, though I'm gonna see if I can do that within Vmware. I'm just getting sick of Microsoft's crap and am turning to another OS.

I have used Linux on and off since '96. In '95 I heard a lot about it and wanted to try it out, didn't get around to it until later.
I really like AfterStep in terms of window managers since it is pretty lightweight. Although enlightenment has been amazing from day one. Like I said, doesn't matter much for me now since I really only want terminal/console access. Although I would love to use the GUI xemacs again (I hear vi users growling, but I like vim too).
I mainly like the look and feel of Gnome, but haven't had to program for either of them - and like I said, they are sort of both evolving to the same point in terms of look and feel, so I'm not sure how much it matters.
I do know that I have always hated motif.
oh, and yeah, my power is on here at work - but not at home. it likely won't be on at home for another few weeks, but for the rest of this week and maybe the weekend, I'm going to move into my future father in law's place (he has power).

Yeah, but you have to *pay* for the exchange plug-in.
Only 60 bucks though.
Blackbox and 6-8 xterm windows will do me for the most part.
In the past few people had a powerful enough computer to run Enlightenment well; now that everyone does Enlightenment is progressing so slowly that nobody cares anymore. They've been working on 0.17 for years now and it's still years away.

I like kde better myself, I do a lot of stuff with (super) karamba, and I dont believe gnome offers a similar choice?
Other than that I've always liked the speed and simplicity of Fluxbox/Blackbox
What flavor do you guys run? The only machine I have linux on is my laptop and that runs a dual boot with my linux being slackware 9.0

In the past I've run RedHat and Mandrake (which are very much the same), and then the Intel version of Solaris for a bit.
Initially I liked Mandrake a lot, but now I'm kind of ambivalent about what type it is. RedHat serves my purposes well enough when I need stuff.
I use OpenMosix sometimes, and that easily works with RedHat/Mandrake.

Oh, this turned into that kind of thread?
My penis is very small.
I have my laptop that runs WinXP Home and my fiancees laptop which runs WinXP Pro.
I have the work network that is all a mishmash of Windows systems.
Then I have my company's computers which were pretty nice and clustered and are now pared down a bit and running FreeBSD.
