Ok. So Ubuntu is recommended. How about a GUI? I can't say I really care for either KDE or Gnome. I did see one called Athene that looked pretty nice but I don't know what it'd run on.

Could it be that the person who's answering you is sending mails in private? From the point of view of the list, only the half of the conversation seems to be getting here.

Sorry, that was me. I figured that discussion wasn't particularly relevant to the gimp, so I'd keep it off the list.

Discussions like this quickly become pointless, since KDE vs Gnome vs whatever is largely a matter of personal preference (provided you are using modern hardware). In many cases you can switch between environments without even rebooting, so the best thing to do is to simply *use* one for awhile...

GUIs are tools just like any other software. What they look like should be subordinate to what they do. I find that sticking with KDE is a safe bet. I use Slack and Patrick Volkerding has already kicked Gnome off the island.

If "look pretty nice" is a biggie with the other person I suggest that here are plenty of themes for him to play with on either KDE or Gnome.

To be clear, he has chosen not to include Gnome because it is a lot of maintaince work, I believe it wasn't a case of kicking Gnome or anything like that. KDE is already the default in slackware and the Dropline team provide Gnome for Slackware so it wasn't unreasonable for him to simply let them be the ones who do Gnome for Slackware and save himself some work.
