Why Gnome is the Default Desktop for Distributions like

Because Gnome is superior, of course. :-)
As stated previously I am a newbie in the Linux world, but one that seen
enough to know that there is no going back now! So currently I don't
really have a loyalty to any of the higher level window systems. I would
be interested in knowing from your experience why you feel that Gnome is
superior to KDE. I guess what I am looking for deals more with the
functionality than anything else and not speed. So far going from Windoze
to Linux/KDE is like going from dialup to wireless!
It really depends on what you want. KDE is better if you want to fine
tune how your system runs (But KDE is sluggish in my opinion), GNOME
is a /bit/ lighter without much customization involved. Xfce is the
best of the three in my experience, giving the user both control and
speed.
Or, if you want to really save your CPU cycles, try a window manager.
Fluxbox/FVWM/WindowMaker are the best in my opinion, I personally use
Window Maker (As I've stated dozens of times on these mailing lists).
You really don't have to worry about desktop integration, because if
you love Kmail and Kwallet then you could run the Kwallet daemon when
you log in and have all of the functionality of Kwallet in say,
GNOME/Fluxbox.
# aptitude install fluxbox wmaker icewm gnome-core kde-core xfce4 xfwm4
And give them all a shot :)
I ran the above aptitude command line and here is last section copied from the
terminal window;
<begin>
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libfam0
The following packages will be upgraded:
libnspr4-0d libnss3-0d
2 packages upgraded, 203 newly installed, 1 to remove and 52 not upgraded.
Need to get 113MB of archives. After unpacking 428MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gamin: Conflicts: fam but 2.7.0-12 is to be installed.
Resolving dependencies...
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
fam [Not Installed]
Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
libgnomevfs2-0 recommends fam
nautilus recommends fam
Score is -341
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
<end>
I chose not to accept this right now. Do I need to add these two packages to
the above command line so that they will be resolved or does it even matter?
Thanks,
Randy
As long as you have Gamin installed it should be fine. I have Gamin
and not Fam and my system hasn't exploded yet :D
