As long as one can install KDE with a simple 'yum install kde' command, 
I can live with FC only shipping with Gnome.  I do like that it has both 
desktops, but I realize that adds some constraints that others may not 
want to deal with.  As long as it's easy to add kde, I think that's 
okay.  I'm partial to Kubuntu over Ubuntu, but I've read that adding KDE 
to Ubuntu can be done with just 'apt-get install kde'.
