This is not meant to start a debate on "which is better" but I just want to find some facts about each one. 1. Is Debian more leaning towards KDE or is this just 'news' from the Corel folks? Is there a reason why they chose KDE and not GNOME? 2. Which is faster? 3. Which uses less memory and is more stable? 4. I heard GNOME uses CORBA. What advantage does this give from a system perspective where multiple applications are running? Thanks is advance. Dinesh
