    It's hard to quantify the differences between the two. I just recommend you install both. You might like KDE better. If not, go back to Gnome. There's no reason not to at least give both a try.

    The difference is really what you see in it yourself. They both have the same target, and are 'competing' desktop environments. Easiest thing to do is install both and try both. It's really a matter of opinion.

    When you get to the "sign in manager" likely KDM, there will be an option to choose between which Desktop Environmnet or Windows Manager to boot to. Gnome and KDE among others will be listed for your choosing.
