It also will never be the KDE type desktop with icons all over the place. There is the occasional bog, but if I wait longer than a day to read mail, the bug has usually been fixed by the time I read the mail. For those of you who are really into guis, the xftree program is quite good, or a lot of people use the rox filer under xfce. Instead of "we're much too busy to do that," you read comments like "I'll fix that as soon as I've had breakfast." The only requests that are rejected out of hand are the requests for bloaty functions. Except for the occasional use of an audio mixer, I can't remember the last time I actually used the kde or gnome menus. xfce is it for me. It worked equally well on FreeBSD. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - ELX rc1 with xfce and sylpheed _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
