Same here. Before GNOME, I used Enlightenment DR16. Switched to GNOME
when I started using Ximian's Red Carpet to update my RedHat
installations and E started development on DR17; DR16 stagnated and I
switched at that point.

I ever use KDE one year ago, but it very very slow ( my RAM is still 256 at that time ). So I reinstall my openSUSE using GNOME and my computer speed is better ( not fast, but better ). My computer upgraded to 512 yesterday, but I don't want to move again.

Why did you reinstall the whole OS just to pick up GNOME? You can have KDE, GNOME, XFCE, whatever at the same time on your system... without need to reinstall. Just use YaST to install GNOME, logout and select at the login screen menu GNOME and there you have it

I keep reading this in other posts too.
"... not working... I reinstalled... Still not working..."
I think, mostly Windo$ influence.

Whenever I install multiple DEs on one system, I find it annoying because I suddenly have 2 text editors, etc. for each DE in my menus! So I prefer one-at-a-time, or when I break down I usually end up with Gnome and Xfce.

KDE3!

Can not settle with kde4 though I haven' tried it on a newer OS than OpenSuSE 11.0. Have two older computers which I have Blackbox and Enlightenment on which are all right, simple and fast.

I've used most over the years. I bounce between KDE & Gnome now. But I like WindowMaker, too. XFCE is nice, but Gnome takes it over too easily. Of course, if Enlightenment DR 12 would come back ...
