I used KDE briefly on my SuSE Linux at home, but it kept the CPU so busy that everything ran slower than <you know what>. I'm not seeing that problem with gnome, here at work (CentOS 4.4+) or at home (still SuSE until I put in the new Mobo/Mem/Video). Has that changed, or is KDE still a CPU/GPU hog?
I have not installed KDE in CentOS, so I couldn't tell about this particular build. I have not used KDE since June 2005(!)...
...until I tried it again in December 2006 under Slackware 11, and I was impressed: much more stable than what it was back in 2005. I have tried it in some other distros too (Pardus 2007, Mandriva 2007 and Flash, and PC-BSD 1.3).
After a year and half of GNOME-only life (except for occasionally WindowMaker, fluxbox, openbox -- and FVWM in OpenBSD), I have very recently converted myself to KDE!
The next CentOS install will be KDE. FC6 works very well with KDE, and even has a right-click menu entry Konsole (not in the vanilla KDE). I suppose CentOS 5 will do just about the same.
