I was a committed KDE user till April, when I tried the latest Fluxbox & haven't looked back: they've done a lot of work to make it useful. I still use a few KDE 3 apps, but am resigned to finding alternatives, if KDE 4.3.1 isn't a distinct improvement on 4.2.1, when I try it in Oct. Besides Fluxbox, I can recommend Xfce's Thunar & Terminal, which I now use regularly. I expect to keep KDE 3.5.9 in my stand-by machine for a long time, but I don't update either box using 'emerge world', so I won't run into serious blocks & masks. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
