He means, why are you using GNOME if you want a compact system.

There is one, but it has more to do with tradition, licensing, or who runs the project than anything else. There are popular distros using KDE as default, and there are ones that use GNOME. And then there are some that use XFCE or something different. And then there are distros that don't have a default, like Gentoo for example. So that's a non-argument. ;-) Cheers, Renat -- Probleme kann man niemals mit derselben Denkweise loesen, durch die sie entstanden sind. (Einstein)
