Linux GUI

I'm using GENTOO and which GUI would u suggest that I take a look at?

/me first timer Gentoo and am installing from stage 1

:evil:

UPDATE: I've switched from gentoo to Suse 9.3 and am currently running KDE. Gentoo's simply just too complicated for a nix newbie.
 
Bah there just here to confuse you!

I would go with KDE or Gnome, since gentoo.org has the Howto Docs on them. And I do have to say... Gentoo's docs are very good.

E17 is pretty, but I'm not sure how stable it is. I'm still using E16.

Ooh, I've been hearing good things about that! But being that it's still a ways from ready for regular use, I'd stick with twm.

There are also docs on others....I know that XFCE4 has one, as I have used it!
 
Ask a million linux users what they recomend, get a million answers. You might as well asked what their favorite text editor was 🙂
 
e17 is still like alpha

And E16 is still labeled a development release nearly a decade later and MS labels Windows "final" long before it's ready with every release =)

I tried the E17 bootable CD, it's based on Ubuntu and ran pretty well actually. It did crash once, when switching themes IIRC, but it switched fine a handful of times and everything else worked fine.

joe then nano...

to the OP : I am a fan of XFCE 4.2 with the gtk/gtk2 and qt3 libraries loaded as well. Installation should be very similar to that of GNOME or KDE ( least is was when I did it on gentoo x86 ).

 
xfce4 is as lightweight as you can get while retaining as many features as the KDE and Gnome heavyweights.

I just wish more folks would play around with entrance (i.e., support TwinView/Xinerama over 2+ screens, etc.)
