Yes, you can have up to 8 desktops in XFCE. Go to xfce.org and take a look at the screenshots. Also another plus for XFCE, that hasn't yet been mentioned here is that its damn easy to build. There's one tarball, about 4MB in size that has everything in it, and building that tarball as an RPM

Yes, it can. I checked into because I'm dumping KDE (I tried Gnome and haven't been impressed). The apps just have to be compiled with KDE support (meaning the libraries are there). I don't know about multiple desktops. Check out www.xfce.org or maybe someone who has run it more can answer

Interesting idea. I'll try it if all else fails. I'm reluctant to ditch KDE, because I'm familiar with it and in most respects can provide support to my wife in its use. Besides, I personally use a couple of things that only KDE provides: kdevelop and six, and my wife really likes kpatience. ++

Also, memory bandwidth will definitely have an effect. I can't imagine running this on a box with UMA (onboard video using system RAM) would work well. The one I've got will barely run X. You'll need a real AGP card with a decent amount of memory, though there's no need for one of those fancy hi

XFCE is quite usable (and did I mention blazingly fast?), but different enough from what she's used to that I'm not sure she'll be happy with it. You might want to look at Blackbox, which is both fast and familiar (looks like WinXX). Fixing her panel issues is probably just as simple as renaming

Re: DVD for Linux - audio problem

Keep in mind that decoding encrypted DVD's is very CPU entensive. So unless you have a decoder card (hardware decoding) rather than just using decss (software decoding) the CPU needs to do all the work in real time. Slower CPU's just can't keep up, so you either have to drop alot of frames to keep

Make them up... 128bit wep is broken up into two parts: 24bits of dynamic initilization vector (IV) These are generated by the 802.11 hardware for each frame 104bits of the key which you create. This is the same for every frame transmitted using 802.11 for a given accesspoint(AP)

The important thing about the Tualatin is that it requires a different mobo due to changes to the core. It's not supported by your average PIII board. It's also a smoking chip by all accounts. One of the reasons Intel killed it was that it could easily have cannibalized P4 sales had they ramped
