Well, Aaron, I recall that hp was one of the lesser good guys, along with IBM and Novell, resisting the SCO attempt to kill linux. I'm not anxious to irritate even the bottom-feeders in India who "support" the systems. I figure that if enough of us let them know (as I did) that Windows is not enough for us, they'll eventually get the message. Yeah, I know lots of people want to get in their faces, but I'm a member of Nature Conservancy, and I admire tremendously their scientific, non-confrontational, "coax them quietly into cooperation" approach, which has done more to advance the preservation of our environment than all the screamers and moaners (Sierra Club, PETA, FoE, etc.) put together. > I guess this is a bit offtopic, but have you tried the GNOME Power > Manager?

I tried gnome early on, but it simply was nowhere near KDE's level of function and ease of use, so I haven't paid a lot of attention to it since then. As I understand it, much of gnome works under KDE, too, so I could certainly give it a try. Do you know offhand if it works well under KDE? jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
