How does it work?look into the forum, unsupported software, big thread. It looks like they're just using Gnome. Will it work with KDE too?yes it does. It works with every wm (except compiz, which is a gconf addon - gconf the windows registry for linux.. but luckily nobody needs compiz).If you are only interested in shadows and transparency, you don't need toinstall Xgl.-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list-- -Se dueño de tu silencio y no esclavo de tus palabras.
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo 2006.0
Thx Sasha, I was looking for that Release Schedule all over gentoo site but couldn't find it.About the updates, it's easy,, I left my computer all night downloading and installing updates,, ;-) when I have one or two, not when I have to update the whole distribution, that's why I want to start as updated as I can.. ;-) Regards.On 2/9/06, Daniel da Veiga [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 2/8/06, b.n.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo 2006.0
Is Gentoo 2006.0 going to be released anytime soon? I want to install Gentoo on my home computer but I'm too lazy to insall 2005.1.r1 and upgrade all packages so I'm waiting for 2006.0.
