I need an RPM-based system because the software and packages I use are only available in RPM format; Oracle's Java and Google Chrome via Google. Based on those two prime criteria that leaves me considering RHEL, Fedora, and openSUSE. With RHEL I'd install the Gnome 2 DE. With the latest Fedora or openSUSE I'd choose those distributions with the latest KDE 4 and leave Gnome 3 alone. While I certainly like Ubuntu's Unity, learning how to tune Ubuntu to be like my current Fedora 14 is a learning curve I don't feel like traversing. But again that's just my personal druthers. YMMV.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-53034769555778537952011-12-04T14:04:13.302-05:002011-12-04T14:04:13.302-05:00So which do you prefer for a desktop environment i...So which do you prefer for a desktop environment if you had to pick one?Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551274197935789878noreply@blogger.com
