A desktop is just the same, as Postfix/Sendmail/Exim/ssmtp, everybody
has a personal preference, still Postfix is the most popular, and used
in SuSE now days (while I still prefer sendmail). Desktop selection also
needs a reasonable default, KDE, so I don't get confused phone calls
late in the evening what to click here :) Saying this as an XFCE user,
which I don't find suitable to newbies... Choosing a different desktop
is a click of the mouse, or two for XFCE, which should not be a
difficult for anybody, who already has a personal preference.
