I agree, I already have both Gnome and KDE installed, so I'd hate to
waste the bandwidth sucking down something already installed. I haven't
seen much of any kind of program that didn't work under both. I'd leave
it as an exercise for the user to decide what he wants to run as his
games desktop. I'm running Croquet (which is practically another OS) on
a KDE desktop and with plenty of CPU and memory, no sweat. My older
Pentium 4 would gag. So, I'd cure it with xfce. My choice, and I'd make
it for me and my needs. That's the Linux way. Keep the spin simply
games. Ric
