KDE tends to have a lot of apps installed and lots of options everywhere
you look. Gnome tends to be a little slicker (with nicer artwork), with
less apps and slightly harder to find options. The Ubuntu Gnome way
seems to be (more or less) 1 program per task rather than several. Both
KDE and Gnome are customisable. There's loads of stuff (and screenshots)
available at www.gnome-look.org and www.kde-look.org 
I started with KDE and found it to be most friendly, I use Gnome now,
Gnome is beautiful - (imo).
