Re: [newbie] KDE and Gnome
I prefer the look'n feel of Gnome, but I'm using KDE. I'm connecting to a remote Linux machine over the network and bringing the desktop up to my local computer. With Gnome, I have lots of traffic running over my network, while it is greatly reduced with KDE. But after for functionnality, I think they are equivalent.

Now I would like to know why each of you is using the one and not the other - ie. what is your personal preference and why, what option does it make the right one for you. In my case, KDE, chiefly because file management requires less RAM. I've got a 1999 bargain-basement PC with only 192Mb of RAM, so CPU cycles are at a premium. Plus, the single-click file opening is pleasantly convenient -- once you get used to it. -- Robin M.

Re: [newbie] RE: Startup Files
VIM is a command-line text editor (if you know UNIX it called vi). If you're new, maybe you should try some more user-friendly text editor (e.g. nedit or glimmer) so I guess this person wanted to tell you to edit the file he was indicating (btw, just in case you are really new to Linux/UNIX, this files are in your home directory. To access it via the command line : cd $HOME) Best regards, --- Jean-Christophe Berthon - Original Message - From: Paul Kraus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 3:14 PM Subject: [newbie] RE: Startup Files VIM?
