the best place to go looking for KDE .debs is at their site: ftp.kde.org. I've seen KDE .deb-packages in their ftp-area. It's also accessible via the web interface at www.kde.org. Usability depends on what you consider "old". I am using a self compiled version 1.0. The only thing which bugs me about this 1.0-release is the documentaion. I a lot of cases all I got to read was something like: "Currently there's no documentation avilable for this program." All in all, I think KDE's pretty usable, though. The last release I saw of GNOME (0.30 I think) was still too unstable to be considered seroiusly. Maybe you want to look at a "regular" windowmanager, rather than a desktop environment. Window Maker 0.20.3, for instance, is what I am currently using. Hope this helps. So long, Stephan -- Stephan Engelke [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** Coffee not found: Operator halted ***
