You can easily switch from one to the other.  I usually install both KDE 
and Gnome as there are packages I like in both.

Depending on how you start X, you can toggle between the two.

kdm gives you the option of choosing the session type: Gnome, KDE and 
many others, depending on what you have installed.  I think this is the 
easiest way to do it.

If you're starting X via startx, then it's a bit more complex, as you'd 
have to configure the init files.

Does X start automagically when you boot?
