All I need to do while builds are running is 1) Have xchat open to talk with people on IRC 2) pidgin ( which runs just fine under CDE) 3) Firefox ( again, this runs just fine as well) I guess the CDE should be mature and well tested. I should be able to use it for long periods of time without issues. While it does look horrible , I guess it would get the job done. Long live CDE :)
