    Did you just not use it any?

    Oddly enough, more distros are starting to leave Gnome packages out of their packages.

    (I always liked gnome better)

    Nothing bad about KDE, I switched between it and Gnome while using the Gentoo box as a desktop machine, but I’m uninstalling all graphical elements from the machine. It’s going to be just a headless server.

    I think Xorg is easier to get rid of than the old XFree86, best not to have it on there. I this box is internet facing, you might want to remove the compilers, rootkits tend to depend on those.

    I think I compile things with kde in gentoo, but I’ve yet to put the actual wm on. I’m still building the machine, but it’s gonna run mythtv so all I really need is x.org and QT.

    I don’t know why KDE is so popular – every time I’ve used it I’ve found myself switching straight back to either Gnome or, if the fancy takes me, something more minimalist such as pekWM.
