I use root logins to X, but usually while setting up a system. I work better with a GUI. I know that's not a cool thing to say on a geek list, but it's the way my brain works. When I set up a system, lots of times there's mount points to create and other things I need to do that involved a program like Konqueror.

A console installer was not an option because I needed one installer (try maintaining 2 installers, one for Windows, one for Linux!) for both platforms and needed something for people that think the blue "e" stands for Enternet instead of Internet. The result is needing to use a GUI installer that has to be run as root. Not my favorite option, but a necessary one.

Ones that support open standards are best. My suggestions: * Any IM server supporting the XMPP instant messaging standard (such as Google Talk, LiveJournal Talk, jabber.org, etc.). There's really no reason or excuse to keeping Yahoo IM, MSN Messenger, AIM and ICQ around now that we have a open, standard IM protocol, regardless of what operating system you use. * Any email provider capable of handling authenticated SMTP and IMAP4 (or at least POP3, but IMAP4 is all around a better answer than POP3). Gmail, most regional ISPs offer this. * Blogger and LiveJournal are good options in the blog world. Hope this helps. -- Paul Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I use gaim for IM. That way I chat with all my yahoo, hotmail, gmail friends at the same time and using just one program. The only downside of gaim is that there is no voice chat facility available as in yahoo, gtalk etc., For voice chat etc., I use skype which works perfectly on both Windows, Linux. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Are you trying to use the gtalk client? The downloadable client (as opposed to the gmail-integrated web client) is windows only. However, you can use any other Jabber client to connect to the gtalk server. I recommend Psi. Instructions for using Psi with gtalk are here: http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=24074 Cheers, Kelly Clowers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There's no reason you can't use those services with Debian. Hotmail webmail is, of course, OS-independent; Kopete and Pidgin have limited support for MSN Messenger (as well as all the other popular IM protocols), and Emesene has more full-featured support; I'm not sure about Live Spaces, as this is the first I've heard of it, but if it's web-based and doesn't require ActiveX, it will work fine with any OS. If you're looking for things that are ideologically compatible with Debian's mission statement, then Jabber would be your IM protocol (jabber.org and GoogleTalk being the major providers here), Wordpress would be your blogging engine, and any POP3/IMAP mail provider would work.
