Thanks to all who replied.  I'll probably have more questions when I get
around to loading it and using it.

Subject: Re: GNOME or KDE?


I am happily running KDE on a PII-450 with 256M so horsepower should not
be 
an issue.

IMHO, KDE is more like windows in appearance and functionality so the 
transition from a windows box would not be difficult.

Others more knowledgeable about development suites can best answer your
last 
question.
