Re: GNOME vs. KDE

We don't lean either way.  Corel is creating their own distribution based
on Debian -- they'll take stock Debian and stuff to it.  They picked KDE
(you'd have to ask them why) as one of the things to add.

>2.	Which is faster?
It seems to me (I haven't taken any measurements) that Gnome runs
marginally faster on my box, but I don't use either KDE or Gnome much. 
It's probably also worth mentioning that my machine is a P166.  With a
faster one, you'll probably never notice the difference. 

> 3. Which uses less memory and is more stable?
KDE is probably more stable.  Which one uses less memory depends on which
features you turn on in each one.

KDE uses CORBA too.  It's just a different implementation of CORBA.
