This is a desktop comparison of Red Hat Linux 9 and SuSE 8.2 Professional Edition. We have used Red Hat Linux 8 for all our work since last fall, and installed version 9 as soon as it became available. However, we have not been fully content with Red Hat, so we gave SuSE 8.2 a try when it became available this month.

"KDE doesn't have disk mounting applets AFAIK."
It doesn't need one at all. Mounted devices are neatly integrated into the desktop.
"Most KDE preferences must be used from the Kontrol Center which means that they will require plenty of resources (which KDE does anyway)."
Wrong. The center only loads the module which you are actually using.
"Theme selection is another area where GNOME stands out."
Especially when it comes to colour selection ;-)
