Hi Sue,
Distro - short for Distribution - refers to the various versions of
Linux as in Mint, Ubuntu, Mandriva etc. etc.
KDE - K Desktop Environment - one Desktop Environment or Window Manager
Gnome - GNU Network Object Model Environment - An alternative Desktop
Environment
KDE and Gnome are the two major graphical interfaces. Each has its own
advocates and advantages. Much of this is about personal choice. Ubuntu
has the Gnome interface as standard whereas Kubuntu uses KDE. Mint has a
version of each.
Hope this helps.
