Ah, but running a GUI on a low end box is PRECISELY what I want to do. It's convenient, that old machine runs all day, every day, except for bedtimes (to save electricity again. I'm very greeny). Precisely what I don't want to do is to boot up another box for those casual email checks and web site scans... and I don't know command line stuff. And don't have time to "invest" in learning them. And I like GUI's. And xfce4 works quite respectably with evolution and firefox with a few tabs open. What I'd like is very simple: my little green SUSE menu lizard (or just a button without the lizard picture) that brings up all the application and tools options on a single click! Always listen to what the customer wants, eh? >;) Even if the tekkie thinks it is foolish/lame/uncool! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
