I prefer it because of the two pane file browser; yes I know I can use other programs but they are a bit clunky:). Also it just looks better than Gnome; that constant brown theme is not for me. You can use Tomboy in KDE, I have it up at the moment. I agree with the comments regarding the system monitor applet, it is not a patch on the Gnome one. I think that people just like one desktop or the other; it's not a matter of one being better, it's a matter of choice and isn't that what Linux is all about?

I think that people just like one desktop or the other; it’s not a matter of one being better, it’s a matter of choice and isn’t that what Linux is all about?

Good luck

Mind you, I've gone back to Gnome. I'm more comfortable in Nautilus and like its connect-to-server desktop icons. Yhey are fast and invaluable for managing our sites. knetworkmanager does not work with our enterprise WEP wireless network, funny because I’ve had no problems with the gnome nm-applet!

KDE Panel is on the left and Gnome Panel is on the right and Task bar at the bottom. It is a great setup because I have the best of both desktops but without Nautilus hassles and overhead.

1)you can make konqueror as fast as firefox with local DNS cache:
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
#/etc/dnsmasq.conf
listen-address=127.0.0.1
#/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
right-click on knetworkmanager in system tray and restart the connection
