   Because I have the offline iso. Delete the old VM and select KDE for the   
   new installation and it doesn't have to phone home. The only thing I'd   
   installed on the GNOME version was Vim, so it was no big deal.   
      
   The offline iso also has Xfce but my preference is KDE. I used to use SUSE   
   because it was KDE when other distros tended to be GNOME. GNOME 2 on Red   
   Hat Linux wasn't too bad. GNOME 3 might be acceptable if you could figure   
   out the extensions but I'm not into 'ricing' a DE. Just a taskbar with the   
   stuff I use would probably be good enough but I couldn't get past the   
   stupid Windows 8 (MacOS?) look.
