No-one was bashing KDE, or pushing GNOME. Brook was pointing out that for a single task which requires heavy resources, a lightweight WM (Blackbox, IceWM) makes more sense than a heavyweight one (KDE **OR** GNOME). > I even run kde on my server box's.

If not, there needs to be. :) I came to Mandrake directly from Windows, picked GNOME out of the WM options I was given pretty much at random, and it's always worked for me.

I'd file a bug at OSS or ALSA, depending on which driver you use. -- adamw
