I don't like the "look and feel" of Gnome and personally prefer KDE, but
I think Linus is way off base condemning Gnome like that. *Large* parts
of KDE have sketchy documentation, or none at all, and there is also the
issue of the "dual licensing" of QT.
From what I've seen, KDE is *significantly* more complex than Gnome,
and that's not necessarily a good thing. As a matter of fact, XFCE4 is
lighter than Gnome -- it's worth taking a look at IMHO.
