Do yourself a favor... quit. You couldn't use Google to find KDE and
Gnome, you have yet to learn how to burn an ISO image. You're not ready
for Linux. Linux is for self starters.

Though you're probably right, I don't discourage anyone from using it. I use
it and love it. I have to admit that I was quite lost for awhile, but
eventually found my way around with some help.
