Oh my God, don't remind me of those totally unprofessional days, daft looking penguins amongst the KDE cogs, and some stupid penguin flapping its wings on start up. The big laugh really for me was that there is a French meaning of penguin that is fairly derogatory. I'll leave the native French speakers to explain it. I've even moved the start of the dm service to near the end of the startup sequence, now I can see when things screw up, like the current snmpd problem. Why emulate Windoz, when nothing works you have to go searching. With Linux a user can call out the reports over the phone.
