- if I may suggest additionally (sorry Fernando, don't mean to be gainsaying your posts), might be easier if you try the environments out using one or two distros that support them out-of-the-box, rather than compiling from scratch in order to try them out. Ceretainly Slackware 14.1 has kde/xfce/plus-others, and not Gnome; is easy to switch from one DE/WM to another; try each out for a coupla days/weeks at a time, and see how you go. For Gnome &c, try to use a distro that doesn't mangle it to their own ends too much. hth, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
