Think of it as three layers: X11 GNOME/KDE Window Manager Not all window managers require either Gnome or KDE; and some applications require other graphics libraries like Lesstif. It's pretty complex, but for now, assume that all X apps require X11 + a Window Manager, and most require either GNOME or KDE. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
