ASK KLAUS!

Are Gnome and KDE equal? Gnome and KDE are always presented as equal alternatives. Are they really equal, or are there situations where one is better than the other? Can I configure my Linux system so that it will run BOTH KDE apps and Gnome apps? Technically speaking, both Gnome and KDE are highly configurable desktop systems with object-oriented internal design, and even for non-technical users, these desktops (if configured appropriately) are very easy to use.
