I built it last night. Since Brett recommends it, I thought I'd see what it's like. It built quickly, loaded without any issues and seemed pretty fast. As configured by default it attempts to run Netscape and a couple of other things I don't have emerged. I'm sure that's a simple config issue when you dig into it. One strange thing was that all of the apps I ran seemed to have no borders, so I couldn't resize the xterm, nor could I move it. I found that a bit odd. Mouse cursor was not an arrow for me. There were some nice features like a small file manager and a trash can. Overall I think I'll keep it emerged and try it a bit more one of these days. - Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
