Sound advice. Personally I won't touch any of the gnome variants because of the way they hide everything they can from the user. Reminds me of Windows with its we- know-better-than-you attitude. And the last time I looked they wouldn't let me have a clear desktop, insisting on littering it with icons I never use. As Joshua says, though, it's all a matter of taste. -- Regards Peter
