   I started with Gnome and never had any problems with it.   
      
   I've tried KDE a few times with mixed results.   
      
   BTW: The best computer education I ever had was that Linux For Dummies   
   book which contained the RH 5.2 cd   
      
    From the time I got the book until I got it installed and fully   
   configured was six months !!!   
      
   When I started, I did not even know what a partition was !   
      
      
   Years later, I went back and did a RH5.2 installation and saw why I had   
   an impossible time getting X configured the first time.   
      
   If I initially close too high of a resolution, then went back using a   
   lower resolution, the original configuration was still kept and would   
   have to have been manually deleted. As a newbie, to figure that out was   
   beyond my ability.   
      
   Finally I did a fresh install and started out with the lowest possible   
   resolution and was amazed when I finally got a GUI !
