I’ve installed openSuse with Gnome on my workstation and I would like to uninstall gnome and install KDE 3.5 as my default GUI instead. Is this possible? And if so, how do I go about doing this?

Yast - Software management
filter by Patterns
check for install
kde3base
kde3desktop

later add this repo and update all in it
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.0

this assumes you are using suse 11

Just a point of clarification: you don’t uninstall Gnome. Install as per caf4926’s advice. Then choose KDE at the login panel and it will default to that until you again choose differently.

It is actually possible to uninstall GNOME but I wouldnt recommend it unless you have a clear step-by-step procedure from someone whos done it before. Theres no point doing it however since it doesnt take much space and you don`t have to use it at all…
