The Konsole app is far better than gnome > terminal. So that's a good argument for Konsole, but not necessarily KDE in general, unless the Konsole session management features don't work under GNOME. (I guess I should test that.) Another area of differentiation between the two environments is the bundled file manager. I find GNOME's Nautilus intuitive and adequate, although nothing special. However I've noticed it can also chew up a ton up memory (hundreds of megabytes), so if I stuck with GNOME I'd likely seek an alternate file manager. On the KDE side I've read how the file manager pops up a dialog asking you whether you want to copy/move/link a dragged-and-dropped file, which sounds annoying. So again, I'd likely seek an alternate file manager. Any recommendations for alternate file managers? -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
