One of the reasons I like Debian is because they support just about everything and generally don't force choices on you. If you want a different gui environment, just install it instead of the gnome default. Setting "desktop=<whatever>" when installing works for at least kde, xfce, and lxde, and just about anything can be installed manually once you get a minimal system running. I'm currently running KDE on the LinuxCNC system I'm trying to get working with my 3D printer, XFCE on a netbook, and LXDE on the Pi. - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlBXLccACgkQLywbqEHdNFxu4wCdHV5zvZJC9TDQD8MgMC68KzOT atcAoJezVGFSaD72bdc/t4NHPhqtgudF =Fndb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
