    Reviewing 2.23.2 (Jun 6, 2008)

    in General Gnome is lighter and more stable than KDE,, though I like KDE interface but stability is a questionable ,

    Thanks to all Linux developer in all over the world, I am waiting for the day that all abandon MS product "like Vista"

    Reviewing 2.21.5 (Jan 17, 2008)

    THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT BUILD Betanews, tag it as such!

    There is no clear changelog for this release but a roadmap and little of a an explanation is available here.

    Looking Forward to GNOME 2.22 - Here you will find a little about the next important release. I find personally sweet that the interface will be more CONSOLIDATED as there are too many applets and tabs to mess around with. Yes, its a mess.

    Reviewing 2.20.1 (Oct 19, 2007)

    I have an extra computer running Ubuntu 7.04. Ubuntu comes with Gnome.

    I am a Windows user, because I play games. Linux is a little weird when it comes to that.

    So I wanted KDE because it looks more clean and you know... bla bla.

    I found KDE somewhat annoying to setup, so I kinda ditched the idea again. Once Gnome is running its rock stable.

    Reviewing 2.19.92 (2.20.0 RC1) (Sep 7, 2007)

    I have used both KDE and GNOME under Ubuntu.

    All I can say is, KDE is for people who are used to Windows. Probably it is best for those who just converted from Windows. KDE's level of customization is amazing. People who wants to tweak it to their hearts' out, they should use KDE.

    On the other hand, GNOME is for people who want clean look. It's simple and this makes it easy to use. Mac-lovers would love it. I also love it even though I always use Windows (sorry!).

    I am looking forward to KDE 4 and GNOME 2.20. Let us see how it will compare with each other

    Reviewing 2.19.92 (2.20.0 RC1) (Sep 6, 2007)

    i use ubuntu and fedora and i must say that GNOME is the best way for ME (maybe not for someone else) to handle linux.
    its easy to use and very simple. also i think that KDE looks a bit like "windows for kids". its more childish. GNOME is - i think - more professional and its very "clean". i love the design and the way it works. maybe there are more possibilities in KDE but i dont really use them, so theres no reason for me to use KDE.
    also it uses less memory on my pc than KDE.

    sorry for my bad english :)
