I'm running KDE 3.5 in my little Vaio (Pentium 2 with 64Mb of RAM and a 2.5Mb VRAM Neomagic, not a *big* machine) and I'm touching heaven... Gnome is just for people not worried about doing the most with the less, its for people not doing much, because they dont have the tools for it. Flame apart, It's nice to have the option not to like KDE and enjoy Gnome, xfce, wm... (fluxbox rocks too!), but I've found on KDE my resort. Regards to all.
