X11, as soon as I get a modem hooked up, I'll get the upgrades, but I think that as per KDE, I'm gonna let it be. I've found myself liking GNOME much more. it just seems more polished at this point.

Also, what window manager are they using for the default GNOME config? Is that IcwWM or Enlightenment? Or did they do somethin' new?

Whatever it is, I love its flexibility with fonts, et cetera.

Also, I take back anything I might have said about X11 in the past. Windoze on this shitball Intel 810 is about as slow as it comes... but this is much, much, much better. It's truly amazing. I wish I'd gone out and just gotten the damn thing sooner

If you're a KDE fan, I highly suggest getting KDE 3.1 using   apt.

is that going to work if one is running kde or any of its components at the time? i imagine this should be done while *no* K* components are actually running (including kppp), yes?

and X11, gnome can use many different window managers, which is nice, in knoppix, they have set it up to use icewm for example (i think it's to save space on the CD)

KDE 3.1 owns the hell out of ANYTHING Gnome produces. Even major Gnome developers admit that KDE has surpassed Gnome in terms of tighter intergration and more features.

The reason you think KDE sucks is because Red Hat crippled KDE in their 8.0 release. I suggest you download KDE 3.1 binaries and install them--you'll see what everyone is raving about.

I know, I used to use KDE. I liked it much better.

As for downloading things, that's problematic, as that would require downloading with my iBook over a crappy 56K connection, burning it to a CD, copying the files in windows, and then going through all that jazz.

Oh well, right now, I don't even have it installed. I'm waiting to get a new board and shit. I'll keep the crappy celeron for windoze, and use a new one for RH8
