Sure. Never use KDE or GNome. If you ask me, which you didn't, but I'm going to tell you anyway, (lol) KDE and Gnome were written for converted Windows users, with the Windows philosphy in mind. They are intensely bloated system hogs. So much so that it bogs a system down when you're not

*Slight* correction. :0) In bash you need quotes if the alias includes spaces. Example: alias z=zwrite That DOES NOT need quotes. alias mp='mplayer -vo x11' This alias DOES need quotes. I know... I'm nit-picking, just giving away free information! :0) tdh --
