Mel. I did an Xinerama screen of 3940x1080 composed of two 3D accelerated 1920x1080 TwinView screens, but I think it should be setup better still. Does this boil down to lack of support from Nvidia for their program nvidia-settings? Any NVidia/Linux experts in the group who are into Twin View?

I have had very much the same experience lately, most everything just works. I wanted to get 3D acceleration installed plus dual monitor setup with two video cards [GeForce 8800 GT]. There were many choices to make, but I choose: aptitude -r install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-settings so aptitude

In my experience none of the Linux IM clients have all the functionality of the MSFT messenger, but I have only used Pidgin and 1 or 2 others. They are usually fine for text messaging but fall short on voice calling and video calling. Even with text messaging I have experienced security / login
