It seems like the most reasonable thing is to include the option of including kde (albeit in a suboptimally functional way) but have it not installed by default. Oh yea, they already do that. I think redhat's doing about the right thing. If they actually stopped including kde in their distribution, they would be at a competetive disadvantage against distos that include both. Every site has a few people who demand kde but really need to be using the same distribution as everyone else. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
