Hi, Very similar to Blackbox is fluxbox which I use very happily. 'emerge fluxbox' and 10 minutes later you're running. It's very stable and very simple. As my Linux usage is in the area of audio recording, I especially appreciate that fluxbox runs very few processes by default. fluxbox provides 'the slit' which is a small area to place docking apps, I can dock a number of things there, can auto hide them if I choose, etc. It's nice, simple and fast. These simplified environments are far simpler and more stable that either Gnome or KDE in my opinion. If you're looking for desktop icons you will need to do some work. fluxbox operates primarily from a desktop drive mouse based menu. Good luck, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
