I'm actually a Gnome user but it doesn't mean that what I want doesn't need to be followed. I should consider the overall advantage for the users and the company. I'm also thinking of using Gentoo for this setup but I admit that I don't like the "Menu Bar" of Gnome in Gentoo because of the words "Application and Actions" and the arrangement of the menus is not that good compared to Mandrake, RedHat and SuSE. Well, this is just minor issues but it would be hard a little bit for the users to cope with the menus. > You still can filter unwanted flash animations on proxy using SquidGuard > (that is not that simple, but I did it so not impossible ;o) You can > e.q. select sites that go with flash, and others will go with no flash.
