Sure, why not? :)

Okay, but you're going into flame territory.... Most people that I've asked 
about their first try of Linux hated it, because they were using GNOME, but 
when the tried KDE, they didn't mind the GUI at all. KDE tends to be more 
about usability and sleeker controls, whereas GNOME is more geared towards 
serious functionality and customisablity. Personally I much prefer KDE, I 
try to use GNOME again every few months but find the environment too bland 
and the interface too clumsy in comparison to KDE's refined controls. Apart 
from that, why not break the mould? Blackbox, WindowMaker, or perhaps IceWM 
for the '95ers? ;)

This is serious flame territory, so get ready for the email hit.
