Hey, my main File Manager is MC :-) I have as little to do with the desktop as I can. Thus my transitioned was eased. > My wife oohed and aahed over it. It is a cute little thing after all... My son, who is an accountant and a Windows user just got one too - he took to it like a Duck to water. I think Xandros is designed for Windoze user$.

I transitioned from Slack to Debian almost two years ago when I got my latest workstation. _couldn't_ get Debian to install 'cuz hardware problems.. went to ubuntu, which uses same apt-get system. I like it, but it is not as stable as Slack (and Debian too, I'd bet) and to make a long story short, I like the way updates work. I don't want to get too far off-topic, but wanted to mention that Xandros doesn't make the same usage of rc* files and init.d. Some gotchas there.. cheers Tim (who is thinking about fvwm and is not opposed to OTL emails about the Asus) _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
