Well, after a nights rest, and rebooting, ELX seems to be running much
better, not sluggish any more, and I'm starting to like it. It does have a
windows like feel, too much for me, but you can still ignore that if you
want, and it did a fine job of setting up with my hardware and networking
with my old win95 box. (Played with samba for a while to get it set up).
Kylix 2 OpenEdition runs well on it. Anyone tried Kylix1 on elx? I had a
problem yesterday installing it, it stalled at building the font matrix.
But maybe I'll try it again, since elx is running much better now.I
do miss the choice of window managers on Libranet, which is my favorite
distribution. IceWM, xfce, kde, gnome, enlightenment, windowmaker,
blackbox, probably more I'm forgetting... Elx has kde, gnome, twm, period.
I'm glad to hear that someone else was please with the elx distro. I think they did a
fancy job. A simple visit to www.rpmfind.net and you can add xfce, etc. quite easily;
just pick a Rehat type rpm compatible with your PC (I can't use 686, for example).
sfce went in with no complaints. Once you have a new wm installed, you need to update
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession and /etc/kde/kdmrc to make the new session type available.
Let me know if you need help.
