Hi, I set my system up about a year ago and abandoned KDE due to lots of "leftover" processes after people logged out (and some other issues including an extremely long login that I couldn'g figure out). We use ICEwm and commonly have over 300 logins per day (average 15-20 at a time) without any trouble. We have 2gigs of Ram, but the box has never used much more than 1gig. primary apps are StarOffice 5.2, Opera, AIM, games, etc. I do let people use konqueror as a second browser option, but I have a nightly script that cleans up the "leftover" processes.
My plan was to update everything this summer and take another look at KDE and Gnome. I've been very happy with ICEwm. The tradeoff of some of the features like cut and paste is worth it to me for the 100% availability and reliability of the core services. I hadn't heard of ROX-filer. I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks, Derek Quoting "Arthur H. Johnson II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Agreed.
