That's OK, my minion, I was just reminding you... > If disk space is the problem have you tried to use Opera? Good point.

Actually I'm quite happy with my fvwm (original) window manager. :-) Since my machine is working fine I am reluctant to do anything that requires a complete reinstall; however, if I were to switch from Red Hat then it would be to Debian rather than Slackware. > I use fvwm2 myself and glibc-2.2 from Slackware 8.1 on an AMD K6-2 machine as > my terminal, so I am not sure it is because you have limited machine power but > perhaps haven't investigated your possibilities right? When I said that my machine does not meet their minimum specifications I was referring to the fact that it doesn't have the required versions of glibc and gtk. Upgrading to Red Hat 8 (or ever 7.3) is not really an option because of Red Hat's code bloat, and switching glibc versions without upgrading would probably be suicidal. > >It was just an illustration of how people do not in general use > >"developed" versions of things; the fact that X is no longer actively > >developed does not imply that no one uses X any more. > > > Oh, you are wrong on that one, X is being developed pretty heavily, but it > isn't anymore the Open Group that does it, it is XFree86.

Just in case you're not joking, allow me to point out that when I wrote "X" I was not referring to X11 but to a generic, unspecified "product X". imc ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
