Something else of interest...I notice in my RHCE courses that GNOME is
mentioned MUCH more than KDE. When I asked someone about that I was
told that industry wide, companies are standardizing on GNOME. I don't
know if that is totally accurate or not, but it would explain some of
what we are seeing. However, while you still have the option for KDE on
the desktop, I'd not worry about Red Hat becoming like another software
company out there.
