When you say "configuring", do you mean "installing"? If that's the case, just use the 'server' or 'alternative' install CDs. Then you won't have to run any of the desktop environments to do the installation. What you use day to day is really a question of comfort and requirements. If you want slim, use a very basic window manager on its own. If you need a few of life's pleasures, use a 'desktop shell', such as Enlightenment. If you need all the mod cons and comfort of a complete desktop environment, use GNOME or KDE. - Jeff -- Open CeBIT 2007: Sydney, Australia http://www.opencebit.com.au/ I wanted to be Superman, but all I got were these special powers of self-deprecation. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
