    KDE can be unstable however Gnome can rape a system of resources. Depending on the system specs. I'd rather go with KDE, I'm thinking about switching to Mint KDE edition with their next release. I've run KDE with gentoo and jesus it was awesome. Unfortunately gentoo wasn't Semtex friendly.

    Whoops: should've seen timestamps lol

    Gnome is nice if you highly customise, however go with KDE. Sometimes unstable, but alot more light on the system.
  • I have to agree with Bursihido here. Awesome WM is well.... awesome.

    I used KDE up until version 4.0, after that is became too bloated for my taste. Then I moved through the usual alternatives: Xfce4, Fluxbox, Blackbox, Openbox, Gnome, Enlightenment, etc. I finally settled on XMonad. Xmonad is a tiling WM that is completely keyboard driven. That is not to say you cannot use the mouse but the window functions are controlled via the keyboard. This suites my needs since I have multiple monitors and it is easier to manage windows this way. If it were only a choice between Gnome or KDE, I would probably pick Gnome because it seems less bloated to me. This is not because my machine is underpowered (i5/8gb ram), I just prefer lighter environments.

    I use KDE but only because I can't get xmonad, awesome or i3 to work correctly right now :/

    I'm using gnome atm, sucks. I've just found out that ubuntu 10.10 looks like the only distro that supports my acpi driver needed so i'm told. Can't be bothered hunting round for solutions/answers for other distro's atm. I'll try and get gentoo or arch loaded at some point as I want a decent distro. (sorry ubuntu fans).

    Go for arch :P
    Nobody wants to compile and entire OS for 8 hours.

    Also on topic:
    I apparently can't get awesome to work correctly, I'm either gonna stick with KDE or play around with i3 and/or fluxbox.

    Thought you had awesome running on your last install? :S I'd get rid of KDE and go with fluxbox mate, knowing you you'd end up changing anyway :P

    Well that was my previous install. This new install is having problems for some reason :/

    I've been playing around with fluxbox for a bit getting it set up. I may keep it depending on if I can get urxvt to look nicer. Right now I need to use Konsole because urxvt is hard to see with my current config.

    Yes I'm aware I need to fix the background so it's scaled for the entire screen. No idea how to though. Eh I'll google and figure it out.

    I doens't work I tried some wep attacks, it doesn't include the patched drivers for injection. Completely useless I stick with Backtrack has much better tools.
