Sounds like a good guess to me. If I had started with this kind of KDE performance on linux, I probably wouldn't have been as motivated to try out XFCE. I can't wait to compare the results with XFCE and SYLPHEED and even GNOME. Standard FreeBSD comes with an ancient version of XFree, so I had to do considerable tinkering to get my S3 Savage card/monitor to work at higher resolutions. FreeBSD is way behind the curve on soundcards; this is a silent install. It does have cups, so I'll try that next. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area WWTLRD? - FreeBSD 4.4 with KDE _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
