Rep:
Which is better, GNOME or KDE.
I currently am enjoying KDE more because it's slighly more user friendly to the new linux user. I do wonder which I should want to adjust to and learn.
Try every one you can get your hands on. KDE's ok, but I prefer Gnome. Windowmaker seems very promising, I might start using it soon once I have the time and nerves. XFCE and fluxbox are also nice, so you might as well just give them all a shot, stay with them for a day or two and see how you get along with them.
We get this kind of thread very often, so use the search facility to find out more info from previous threads. As to which is better, that depends on your needs and personal preference.
Well now you know saves waiting for a response to your posted questions.
I've been watching enlightenment carefully, it's really nice and clean, it's still in heavy development so quite buggy, but i think it'll be a serious contender when it's released.

Ditto, using e17 right now. In my opinion, the best looking wm for linux
