The primary reason I stick with gentoo is the ease of updating. A few times a week, I run 'emerge sync' (update the list of available packages) and 'emerge -pu world' (list the new stable updates that are available based on what I have installed). Is that type of operation easy on libranet/debian? This is comparable to 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' which grabs all new packages from whichever branch you are aimed at.

As long as I don't start kde or gnome I still have the option to switch to any of the others. Kde and Gnome have their own menu setup which doesn't include the other wm's.

Re: Slack and root access to X server
Bill Campbell wrote: I find it far easier to run X clients with ssh than dealing with the $DISPLAY variable and xhosts, not to mention more secure (as if X without ssh were at all secure :-). This is good advice. Open a terminal, ssh -X servername to your servername, then just run openoffice. If ssh_config has forwarding set up yes you're in business. You can check by typing echo $DISPLAY. You should get something like localhost:0.10 if it's working. This assumes you're logged in as a user on the client machine that matches your user on the host. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
