Be advised that Sylpheed can't do multithreading in the news groups. It gets one at a time and you can't do anything else while it is and they say it would be a major change to fix it but it's on the list.

Hi, me again

I've got my base system working with Xfree, now its time for installing a window manager, i was thinking for using Fluxbox 0.1.14-r1. I would like to use these programs is this possible within Fluxbox or is it better to use anotherone?

Evolution, OpenOffice, Xcdroast, VMware, Adobe Acrobat, XMMS, Gaim, The Gimp, Mozilla, Mr Project, Ethereal ...

my /etc/make.conf USE contains KDE and GNOME evo cdr ...

can i start with emerge fluxbox and go so on.


Be aware that Evolution will probably drag in a lot of gnome. A simpler and reliable email product is sylpheed.


Fluxbox or Openbox would be a fine choice. I like xfce, but unfortunately you have to tinker with the ebuild to avoid installing gnome (I've reported this in bugzilla a long time ago).

Good luck.
