    Default OS and Desktop Environment queries.

    1.On my computer grub set by Fedora looks like that

    # grub.conf generated by anaconda
    #
    # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
    # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
    # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
    # root (hd0,1)
    # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
    # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
    #boot=/dev/sda
    default=0
    timeout=3
    splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    hiddenmenu
    title Fedora (2.6.25-14.fc9.i686)
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 ro root=UUID=f0e65d49-a76d-49f6-a33c-3e7474e4da3e rhgb quiet
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686.img


    title openSUSE
    root (hd0,5)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-31-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST340014A_3JXASRMJ-part6 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda3 splash=silent showopts
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.5-31-default
    How can I set OpenSuse as the default operating system?

    2. During installation of fedora, I had instructed the setup to install KDE and XFCE as well with default gnome. At login screen, I get option to switch to KDE but no such option is there for XFCE. How can I use XFCE?

    3. How can I make an user account default account so that it starts automatically on starting fedora?

    Mind the line
    default=0
    and set it to "1".

    Provided that gdm is used as the login manager, on GNOME go to Desktop->Administration->Login Window and set the automatic login under the Security tab.
