You haven't tried running Gnome on a P133 using a Woody system have you? My advice?

LSB packages will install on a Debian system using alien and we do have a package which makes a Debian system as fully LSB conformant as it could reasonably be expected to be by installing all of the stuff that is optional in Debian but not in the LSB. I'm not happy with what's happening on the LSB front within the LSB or the Debian projects personally. Dale as Debian's representative needs to be more active about the big issues IMO and the LSB needs to be more receptive of them. (No, the format of LSB packages is not a big issue.) -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> glDisable (DX8_CRAP); <gholam> well I'm impressed <gholam> win98 managed to crash X from within vmware. * gholam applauds.
