I use parts of Xubuntu and Ubuntu. I installed from an Ubuntu 7.04 disc and later removed ubuntu-desktop and installed xubuntu-desktop. Using Fluxbox as a Window manager and the Thunar file manager from XFCE rather than Gnome. There are lots of good parts to XFCE, but it's still a little heavyweight for me. I've also never been a fan of the Start Menu setup, I prefer the right click the desktop for a menu way. I still use the gnome-settings-daemon rather than xfce-mcs-manager as the XFCE tool causes strange graphical defects in Firefox for me. Also the XFCE settings tool lacks the GTK theme colour tweaking the Gnome one has. If it wasn't for the weird graphical defects, I'd drop Gnome and stick with the XFCE stuff. These defects aren't limited to Ubuntu, I get the same with Debian, the common feature is an Intel graphics setup so it could be a problem between the Intel X driver and XFCE if other people aren't seeing it. -- Gav Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk I think we need to: Install the energon relay
