I think you've got a point actually. But we could try to spare some people the pain of having to use Vista in the first place :). As for eye-candy. Kubuntu + Beryl > Vista. Search for Beryl on a site like Youtube and you will see how good it is (unfortunately, I haven't got round to installing it myself yet). The features easily match the new Vista Aero interface. --Ben Webb -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
