Any tips?
I haven't played with Debian, but I'd be surprised if those tools were the only ones Debian supplies. I've been using Redhat myself, and what you describe sounds like the Linux of five years ago. Redhat's X configuration is incredibly simple these days. It should all GPL'ed, so I'd be surprised if the other distributions didn't use it to improve, augment, or replace their own X configurators. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] / YAHOO abreauj Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99
