Glad you mentioned this because I've been meaning to ask for some distro suggestions. I have no intention of changing from Intrepid x86_64. My motivation is to convict the module that is causing all the grief that I have been having with OOo 3.0.1. At the moment my #1 suspect is Gnome. So what I want is a distro that uses KDE and has not even a shred of Gnome in it. That means it also can't come with any part of OOo, since OOo requires parts of Gnome, even on a KDE machine. The problem I am having is characters dropping out in printouts and usually (but not always) dropping out on the screen as well. And it happens in Abiword, KWord and Scribus as well as OOo. So a distro that has just those three would be perfect, although I can install them if it doesn't come with them. Oh, and a live CD distro would make things way easier. Else I have to install it in VirtualBox, which is kind of a pain. I never did figure out how to get the Guest Additions working in Hardy-32 that I installed in VirtualBox. I nstalled it only to see if the bug happened in Hardy as well, and it does, so I can now delete the virtual machine. Any suggestions? Oh, and since I'm not actually going to use the distro, consider this request [ - FLAME, +curiosity ]. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
