Yes...I think so.....It's all personal preference....but I heard that KDE crashes alot..
And also KDE is built on top of GNOME not the other way around

It is personal preference, but I've had no problems with KDE. Hasn't crashed at all. Like the link provided states you can install both (on most distros) and check out which one you like best.

i used to have loads of grief with KDE, but latest versions seem to have been very stable. Used to use Gnome a lot due to KDE problems but now i use only KDE and it's great, especially the way it allows randomising of wallpapers

Not by default you can install it later......And BTW Redhat can be used for Desktop use,but it's good for server use. I would stick with another distro...Debian is good for beginners and so is Fedora...But I would recommend Debian or the Debian-based Ubuntu

...and i'll wholeheartedly recommend Mandriva; even tried out Damn Small Linux (nice) today on a few machines, couple of those are even ancient Pentium 1 machines :P

I've started using Simply Mepis 6 recently and so far so good!
It's based on Ubuntu 6.06 and uses KDE, I was using Kubuntu which is also KDE, but Mepis seems faster even though it's based off of Ubuntu now.

Ummm....Every distro has KDE. Just not by default..And on most when you install you can choose KDE or Gnome. KDE and GNOME are basically the same on every distro just some diffrent packages can be installed.

Most packages I have have presonally downloaded have a Debian option, which is what my distro is based on and i have seen a lot with Ubuntu as an option also, which mine is based on.
You don't have to go for the BIG names, but obviously if it is a common distro you should find a bit more help easily.
Distros like Ubuntu don't have KDe by default, but it is so easily installed it's not a big worry.
Grab some live cds and have a play, see which you prefer.
