[ltp] two questions -- 600E / X / RAM

[Rob Bell]

I'm pretty new to Linux, but I do have RedHat 7.2 on my ThinkPad A21p 
and I'm using (what I believe is) KDE/Gnome.  I've seem people talk 
about both KDE and Gnome separately.  Could someone clarify what each 
one is or point me to an on-line resource that does?  I guess I should 
know what I'm using before deciding whether to switch.

Thanks,
Rob
