what is the hierarchy between them?
how is X server related to KDE and to gnome?
my understanding is that KDE and gnome are 2 different desktop environments. i dont understand how X plays in. do i need to install X before i use either KDE or gnome? would either KDE or gnome work w/out X installed?
please explain

Hi, X-server is the brain for your interface.
Kde and Gnome are 2 Windows Manager.
Without a X server, then you cannot have a working Kde,Gnome,Xfce etc... |

h2sammo, this would be a lot to explain and take more competent people than me - but for starters, googling
xorg server kde gnome
would give you first ideas and maybe more precise questions! |
