Ubuntu-Chicago Off topic KDE vvs Gnome

[Carson Hicks]

It would make a good presentation, and personally, I find KDE annoying. The
Ks everywhere just gets on my nerves for some reason. I much prefer XFCE and
GNOME, i used XFCE on my 1.4GHZ Celeron with 256mb of ram, and it worked
like a charm. If I tried KDE on that, my performance was hindered. GNOME was
similar to XFCE.
