Have you looked there yet? Since Gnome is the standard install of Ubuntu, it is likely already installed on your computer, you would just change the session type to Gnome and then after your name and password are in, when it asks if you want to make it default you would just tic yes and you are there! If Gnome is NOT there, just search for and install "ubuntu-desktop" with your package installer and it will be! I too like KDE 3 and it is what I use mostly, I check out KDE 4.1.1 from time to time and it IS getting better but not ready for prime time yet. There were quite a few packages for it a couple days ago so I spent quite awhile exploring the new system yesterday. Still not ready but much better! <div><div class="Wj3C7c"> </div></div></blockquote>I am a Gnome user (Ubuntu) and I have tried KDE 3 and 4 a few times, my Eee PC has KDE at the moment, but not for much longer, since I am going to install Ubuntu Eee on it. I have tried Pupeee and Sabayon for Eee, but I feel lika I want Ubuntu on all my computers, making it easy to switch between them (not that it is hard now, on the other hand). Personally I think KDE looks too much like Windows and there are a lot of things that I like with Gnome, I can't reallt point my finger at it, it's more like a feeling. However, there is one thing, cosmetic only, but still, that I liked about KDE and that I miss when using Gnome: I want different backgrounds for different deskstop. If that's possible in Gnome, it's at least not intuitive, because I couldn't figure it out. Another thing I would wish, that I haven't seen in Gnome or KDE (or anything else) is that I could have different icons on different desktops.It seems to be more desktop settings in KDE, but I don't mind much, since I usually only change some minor stuff, like colours and things like that, then I feel like just using the system for work (or fun), rather than using all my time to design my windows and icons… I am not sure if this ís a Gnome thing, but I like the drawers! Do they exist in KDE too? I never looked for them in KDE, strange enough…J.R.</div>
