As an answer to your first comment; If I desire to configure the Control Panel I dont like to continualy have to reenter root password to get it done also this concept has apparantly removed a lot of configuration options that should be there. I.E. in desktop 2.4 Caldera has an excellent configuration for X, you can set everything up correctly, this is gone in desktop 3 and RH 7.2. Before you get the urge I know this is Debian these are for example only The point being an example of Mainframe Mentality that seems to be growing in the Linux community (as someone mentioned a few days ago). Everyone should consider the future. What is the future of Linux? It should be to take over the Windows boxes it cant happen if everyone follows RH.
Welcha & blaster dont come through the mailbox and since they are just computer programs they can be stopped. Every time I got one or the other it was while downloading the Norton updates. That should tickel your fancy. I dont believe for a moment that the Norton site is infected. Nor have I been after getting the download finished. "It's just that it's so amazingly silly that people have trouble beliving that it is what you 'really want'." or "Debian tends to be geared more toward multi-user computers" an example of MM. People have told me that their computer works just like I think mine should and they dont understand what the problem is. I think you should consider what is the purpose of the "faces" program which I noticed in my gnome start menu. Just because you dont use GUI dosent mean that others shouldnt and Linux isnt going to ever be as popular as Windows unless it becomes as user friendly as windows. In my opinion and you have the freedom to feel differently. Regards; Hoyt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
