Umm....I dont use XP. I use Linux 24x7. It is only at the college that I am *forced* into using XP. But as I said, its very simple to use - even for first timers. And the comparisons are drawn only so that we may be reminded once in a while that imitating something thats good isnt all that bad. Besides, didn't M$ imitate the Mac UI in the first place? :P And I find the absence of a full blown CLI in XP crippling :( > Yeah this is true.

Dunno what version of GNOME it uses but I certainly couldn't find it in the right click menu or any of the preferences. I was told ( on IRC ) that I'll have to edit some files in my home directory to make that association. Sucks! -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
