Slightly OT but...the recommended install if you are intending to boot
into 9 (as opposed to just running Classic) is to have them on separate
partitions. You then also install a stripped down 9 on the X partition and
set *that* to be your 'Classic' system. You don't have problems
necessarily with them on the same partition, it's just easier and less easy
to accidentally delete things to have them on separate partitions.

Gnome and KDE are desktop managers. I *think* they are the only two
around. You don't need a desktop manager though, you can do with just a
windows manager - like sawfish or enlightenment. These are eminently
customisable and are much faster than a whole desktop manager.
(Please note I'm still somewhat of a linux newbie so i could be wrong with
this!)
