I know that Debian, for one, has > seperate packages for dia with and without GNOME support... I'm using Caldera 2.3 and I run it on a P133, 32MB, 1.7GB hard drive. I got it out of a book for $12.00, and I bought my machine second hand so I could play with Linux. I saw Gnome at the Ximian presentation at SLUG last year and it looked very cool! I tried out RH7.1 with Gnome on my machine, but it ran very slowly. That's how I knew about Dia. My computer runs VERY fast with my Caldera distribution and KDE. I'd run both KDE and Gnome together (RH6.2 perhaps?), but I'm afraid of filling up my tiny hard drive. Another reason that I use KDE, even though I like Gnome also, is that the KDE file manager renders HTML. I like to browse documentation with the file manager, or write HTML with XEmacs and view it quickly with the file manager rather than loading Netscape. I mostly use my machine to edit text, but it's cool to be able to do diagrams with Dia. I don't know much about Debian, but I intend to find out more. Best wishes Mark A.
