WTF?! Have you even *looked* at XFCE4?! LOL! It's better looking and has
all the functionality and user friendliness of KDE or Gnome, without all
the bloat. It's just as easy to configure as KDE, comes with all kinds
of goodies like it's own file manager, taskbar and panel that allow the
user to easily add menu's, applets, and program launchers, has it's own
plugins for system tray, shite man, I could go on forever...

Best of all, thanks to the efforts of many in the Linux community, it is
*very* easy to install with RPM or Debian packages contributed by it's
fans.

I would *easily* recommend XFCE4 over KDE or Gnome any day, for newbs
*or* experienced users.
