I don't like Gnome, I can tolerate KDE. I prefer XFCE.

I run Fedora XFCE right now on my laptop. I integrate pretty seamlessly into my work's Windows network. The only time I need my desktop Windows machine is when I have to use The one application that runs on Lotus Notes.

E-mail, Vmware, browsing, IM (tool we use to communicate between departments), everything--all runs fine on Fedora.

Heck I even run a game on Steam, and several on Wine.

A lot of the Fedora boxes I build don't even have an X windows desktop. Or monitor, or keyboard or mouse. ;) Just command line, usually via SSH.

I do like being able to tailor the distro to the requirement, and leave out lots of overhead.

Lotus Notes is evil-ware.
