Overview and Explanation of Linux Desktop Environments 

,----[ Quote ]
| In terms of popularity KDE is the second 
| most popular desktop environment. Like 
| Gnome it is fully matured and provides 
| it's own full application set as well as 
| GUI tools for configuration. KDE also has 
| a wide selection of "plasma widgets", 
| which are handy applets you can place all 
| around your desktop for all sorts of 
| tasks. They range from something as 
| practical as a calculator to as useless as 
| a display from "The Matrix".
| 
| [...]
| 
| All of the various desktop environments 
| have their advantages and their 
| disadvantages. Which one is right for you 
| largely depends on your task at hand. 
| Personally I run LXDE on my netbook, KDE 
| on my gaming laptop, and Gnome on my home 
| media center. If you are not sure which is 
| best for you, try them out! It is all free 
| software after all, get a feel for which 
| desktop environment you are most 
| comfortable on and use that one.
| 
| Is there another desktop environment zthat 
| you enjoy using that I failed to mention 
| here? If so let me know, I am always 
| looking to tinker with new things.

| some new icons sets that you may have

How to theme Enlightenment E17

,----[ Quote ]
| Before we go on it would be best to point out a couple of outstanding
| locations to find themes. There are two sites that house plenty of E17 eye
| candy (there used to be three main sites until Freshmeat dumped themes â BOO
| HISS!). Those sites are: Get-E and E17 Stuff. The latter has far more themes,
| but the formerâs themes are much more interesting.
