Greetings: I was going to reply to your prior post, but I read the rest of the thread first. Anyway, with the limited speed of your box, you might want to try both of them, but it is *very* likely you will like something like Blackbox, Fluxbox, or IceWM. These last three will reduce the sluggishness of your computer in graphical mode. I am really pleased with both IceWM and Blackbox myself. So much so that I have IceWM default on both this box and my laptop. I really like Kde as well. It has a lot of features (aka bloat) that I enjoy. I kind of shun away from Gnome, but that is just silly seizure-like moments of flashbacks to my installs of Red Hat 6.2-7.3 :) Now also know that you can add any of these as your "default" GUI if you use Gdm or Kdm (these both come with Gnome/Kde). In my case, after I start x, I see IceWM. From Ice, I can start any other GUI. Debian makes it very easy to choose these on the fly. Bottom line: If you have the room on the harddisk, then install them all! Try them all out, then remove any of them that you don't like. hth gl - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
