Totally agreed. If there will be no KDE - I won't be running Linux on my home desktop. KDE is the only Linux'es choice before users run back to Windows. <snip> That is a somewhat exaggerated statement I believe. My preference is also for KDE, but I also like the BlackBox , and if it's a really old computer xfce4 guis. In particular xfce takes a lot less overhead and is still pleasing to the eye, so far, than most of the guis I have

It is one of the joys of Linux that you can keep playing around until you find a desktop or no gui at all that pleases your eye and intuition.. or at least it seems intuitive by the time you actually spend time thinking about it.. These different guis are included on the Suse disks, and I would think probably are included in the downloadable version as well. I read in the Linux Pro magazine this month that Novell has bowed to the pressure (?!??!!) But has made one small, but important , at least to the article writer, change... Gnome will be the FIRST choice in the list of guis to install; and the implication was, that should you install , for instance, Gnome, KDE, xfce4, fluxbox, fvwm2, or an any of what seems an almost endless list of guis... Gnome will be your first choice to boot to. I believe that is a misguided attempt to get people who do NOT pay attention when they click to load the Gnome desktop unknowingly, on the impression that if they "try it they will like it"... But as long as there is choice.. I stay w/ Suse ;-D -- j "There's a woman goin' crazy on Caroline Street Stoppin' every man that she does meet Sayin' if you'll be gentle if you'll be sweet I'll show you my place on Caroline Street" Song lyric
