I'm giving rxvt a try, too. Seems pretty quick. I like it. I swap pretty badly running Gnome with only 192mb. Esp. when I have Evolution open. But I *need* calender and email functionality, and Evolution handles it really, really well. If there were a stand-alone calender that worked well, I would use sylpheed or something less resource-intensive. Any advice? I can't wait until I upgrade. I need to back some stuff up, but when I do: I'm getting Etch and Xfce. I want a lighter desktop, but I don't want to install it on top of all my Gnome and such. It's too much to worry about right now. -- Matthew K Poer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
