It should not be taken lightly, and unfortunately it has split the Linux community somewhat. Google gives 50,000+ hits for [GNOME] vs [KDE].
With the recent (last 6 months) release of a new generation of both Gnome and KDE, there are some choices to make. Basically, evaluate both and decide which one you want.
-If you like KDE, you might want to look into [Mandrake], a distribution that was started because RedHat refused to support KDE in their distribution.
If you like GNOME, you have to look at XimianGnome. __There is no simple answer__, for good and
for worse.

If you're RichardStallman you definitely don't tend toward KDE.

-It should be pointed out that you do not need to choose either of these. It
may be a good idea to use one or the other for many users, but
there is a third choice here: ignore these two warring desktop environments and use something else.
