openSUSE: KDE or GNOME?

[tuxxy]

I prefer GNOME on any distro to be honest and its funny when I think back that people were angry when Ubuntu included a even just beta browser in Hardy

If you used KDE4, sometimes it's buggy and won't show any wireless points. A reboot usually fixes this, or you can input the name of the access point and manually set it.

I'd temporarily given up Suse but saw your comment about it running at lower temperatures on laptops as compared to Ubuntu so I'm thinking of giving it another try. (and if this doesn't work, in a few weeks I'll be able to plug into the internet via a nice ethernet connection and work on solving wireless issues from that happier position) Is it necessary to actually fully install SUSE, or should it be working in the livecd mode too? And I did try the KDE4 version. The desktop looked a bit strange, TBH, but I didn't get much of a feel for functionality because I had no internet and so left.
