I also could not believe that. I actually dont like Gnome either and
was surprised to find no mention of KDE on the HD after a full
install. But, as you said, a few words on the cli and BOOM, minutes
later running KDE. I was completely blown away. FWIW, I am getting
used to Gnome also. Check out gdesklets they give Gnom a whole new
look and feel. On my MDK box I run Fluxbox so this is all a big
change to me.
