A certain version of SuSE would set the desktop background to red if you logged in as root. And looking at your signature, I noticed IRC wasn't really mentioned in this thread. Not exactly instant-messaging, but a good place to get support (errr... or to be labeled as n00b). I normally use xchat, which is probably also the client of choice for the Gnomes. From what I understand, Konversation is the client of choice for the Trolls (err... KDE folks). The ChatZilla extension to Iceweael (or whatever) is also quite nice. Gaim/Pidgin and Kopete have their own IRC plugins. And there's the irssi terminal-based client. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
