IIRC when i installed Gentoo in my newly-built box in 2003, i used the X config file created by Mandrake from my 2000 box, as i use the same monitor for both machines. Gentoo is not for beginners, but it doesn't hurt to have good tools & sometimes that includes a GUI interface, eg configuring Xscreensaver. even Vim is easier to use in the Gvim version, at least for me. there's no harm in being a fanatic, if you know when to stop (grin). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
