Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Server all share the base (kernel, low level programme mes). This means you can install any of them on any other. GNOME is the default desktop for Ubuntu. It can also be installed with the ubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Ubuntu, please see Ubuntu on the desktop. KDE is the default desktop for Kubuntu. It can also be installed with the kubuntu-desktop package. To learn more about Kubuntu, please see Kubuntu.

KDE is easy to work with and has many useful features and well-integrated components such as the PIM package (Personal Information Manager). Additionally, KDE is probably easier for people that used Windows before, but this is rather a nice side-effect than a main reason for this choice.

Initially, Freespire will be built around the KDE environment, but again, being a community project, it's certainly conceivable that GNOME variations will emerge over time. However, it's important to know that Freespire believes in using "best of breed" applications in the default distribution, so you will find both GTK and KDE based programs in Freespire, and you can swap applications in and out using CNR or apt-get.

Start the live system in qemu: qemu -m 256 -cdrom debian-live/binary.iso -boot d -redir tcp:4222:10.0.2.15:22 Change everything you need (e.g. add icons to desktop, change background, set preferences). Compress and copy the /home/user from the live system to your host (using tools like scp). Then include that directory under config/chroot_local-includes. In that directory you must have a "./home/casper" directory structure. After that, it is necessary to make the correct owner start KDE.

The Gnome and KDE desktop environments can get into such a state that they either won't start or start more-or-less uselessly. Or you may just have configured a miserable combination of fonts, colours and desktop images and want to start afresh. In either case, it's simply a matter of logging out, renaming the configuration folder(s) and starting the desktop again. Note that when you reset your configuration, you will lose all customizations made under those environments.

Evolution is a Gnome application and should normally work perfectly under KDE if you have the required Gnome libraries installed. If you start Evolution under KDE from shell/console/terminal prompt/commandline and get errors about QPixmap and QPainter, it is very likely a theme problem. Try to not use gtk-qt, try a different theme under KDE.

We'd sure love to! The problem is, we don't have a clue how to do it =). If anyone else is capable of programming the KDE/GNOME side of this extension, we would welcome the help. For now, a good tool for tray minimizing on Linux is KDocker. It works for all NET WM compliant window managers, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce and many more.

openSUSE supports a number of popular desktop environments, including GNOME and KDE. During installation, the user is asked to choose between GNOME and KDE but no default is given. Both desktop environments are mature and feature-rich, which one a user chooses is a question of personal taste. The content on this and other wiki pages is posted by community members who are not acting for or on behalf of Novell, Inc., whether or not they otherwise have affiliation with Novell.

Yes it is. But we do not recommend this option unless your hardware is powerful enough. Meaning you probably could install any current Linux distribution.

Many people have requested a Linux and a Mac version of WorldFlash. Thanks for the response, however at this time we're only supporting Win95/98/NT/2k/ME/XP. When there is more to report on the progress of the ported programs, it'll be announced at this web site. to top

No. Conglomerate will run perfectly well under KDE, provided you have installed all Gnome 2 shared libraries neccessary for Conglomerate to run.

Ubuntu defaults to GNOME, but also supports KDE. (Kubuntu is a KDE-based version of Ubuntu.) Linspire still prefers, and will continue defaulting to, the KDE desktop environment for target users of the Linspire and Freespire operating systems. Linspire will also continue making the numerous enhancements it does to KDE that make it more ideal for their target users.

AfterStep is a Window Manager for X which started by emulating the NEXTSTEP look and feel, but which has been significantly altered according to the requests of various users. Many adepts will tell you that NEXTSTEP is not only the most visually pleasant interface, but also one of the most functional and intuitive out there. AfterStep aims to incorporate the advantages of the NEXTSTEP interface, and add additional useful features.

KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop enviroment for Unix work stations. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations.

Gnome is a free software and is part of the GNU project dedicated to give users and developers the ultimate level of contol over thier desktops there software and there data.

Not really. It doesn't use the GNOME application framework. The only thing it has in common is GTK+. GIMP can optionally use gnome-vfs, allowing you to load and edit images from remote servers.

Yes, we believe that Mono 1.0 is ready to be used as the main development platform for building applications for the GNOME desktop. Mono includes Gtk# a .NET binding for GTK+ and various GNOME libraries which together with C# and the System libraries provide developers with great productivity for building graphical applications especially when compared to GTK+ or Java Swing. Although we had plan to support Bonobo, we have not yet done any work on this area and it is no longer a high priority.

Yes, the Gtk# project provides bindings for Gtk+, Gdk, Atk, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, and libgnomeui. Other libraries under the GNOME framework will be added on an as-needed (and as-requested) basis.
