The only problem with debian is this. potato is rock stable, but some of the packages are ancient. For ex. : XFree, KDE etc. Though you get all the new stuff in woody, on dial-up in India it is not possible to download that stuff. You can upgrade max say one or two big packages - XFree etc. > >My version of XFree86 is 3.3.5, if this does'nt support 810E chipset >is there any remedy ?

Hows is WindowMaker ? I use icewm with rox-filer. Combination is deadly. With rox-filer you can put shortcuts on your desktop and rox-filer has got lot of cool stuff. Including preview of images.
