As Richard said, I like xfce on all my systems, but the kde and gnome biggots are welcome, too. 3) On a side note, Richard, have you tried Python with the PyGtk extension? I'm working on a simple gui-based portage display and installation package for gentoo. PyGtk is pretty easy to use, but it's not extremely well documented. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD? gentoo(since 01/01/01) 2.4.18+(ext3) xfce-sylpheed-mozilla _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
