Hah-HAH!
« on: October 13, 2005, 06:30:47 pm »
Okay, so I've finally gotten a box to install Slack onto, and I'm trying to figure out which desktop I want to use.  KDE and Gnome are both good...but I know there are others.  Suggestions?

I've only tried KDE and Gnome, but of the two, I like KDE the best.

I use GNOME. I just can't adjust to KDE's single-clicking (not that I've given it effort) and its overall hugeness. Plus, GNOME is the only one that likes my resolution (and scales the screen down to fit it). KDE totally screwed my box over, and I had to restart to fix it.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I use double click on KDE. I was interested in Enlightenment and XFCE but never got around to testing them a lot. I use Fluxbox on my laptop.

They are desktop environments.

Enlightenment is pretty nice. I started using it on my laptop.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Well, until I can install Slack, this thread is pretty pointless.  Did I mention it refuses to boot off the CD?

They're the Linux equivilant of "explorer.exe".  They look after all the front-end graphical stuff. 

X-Windows Server looks after programs connecting to the interface, where their windows are, the resolution, and where the mouse is clicked, not much more. 

KDE and Gnome take care of what the Windows look like, how they are moved, and how they are resized.  They also provide graphical tools for configuring your computer, icons on your desktop, a "start"-style menu, wallpaper, etc.  Anything that you see, basically, is provided by your window manager (KDE and Gnome)
