[opensuse] KDE and GNOME: What exactly are they

I'm having a problem describing either KDE or GNOME to my friends. I know they're not like Windows in terms of being the Operating System, so what is the technical term for both of these (window managers?) and what is the best analogy to use when describing them? *Note: I am not trying to start a flame war of KDE vs. GNOME, I just really want to know how to describe them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
