KDE I think. Isn't it fun when you hit 320-240 resolution under VMware? Makes the installation -- ah -- interesting at times. Oh well, since I don't have the room, nor the heat tolerance to keep a half dozen PCs running in my den, at least VMware lets me keep a slew of virtual beasties running. One feature that I love is the ability to switch to non-persistent disk mode before doing anything radical. Maybe some OS in the future will offer a similar mode - let me turn on non-persistent when upgrading or making significant system changes, then roll back if all else fails. > Bah.

Other than setting a different color shell prompt for each system to avoid confusion, I generally do very little out of a shell prompt in Linux. I'm not doing too much in the way of apps under Linux, as I've got to use Windows for work anyhow. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
