This is by no means a technical review - it is just a summary of my experience as I was going along, installing and configuring a Red Hat Linux 9 machine. I installed the standard "workstation" installation on my 2 year old desktop machine. I like Gnome at home, KDE at work, but this review only covers my experience with the default Gnome installation.

That is so a matter of taste. I prefer an environment that gets out of the way. I prefer less buttons and menu's. I prefer simplicity. I prefer to keep most aspects of my desktop constant, the way I found them. I think if I have to go around changing the look and position of everything on my desktop, then whoever put together that distro did not do thir job too well. Some of us just want a usable desktop. I think you can tell that I prefer Gnome.
A year ago I preferred KDE, but it got to me finally. I hate complexity disguised as choice. KDE doesn't have to provide all the choice in Linuxland. Gnome can provide some, and so can XFCE, and so can ROX. I think KDE should start making some choices.
