I suspect that gnome users might be disappointed but KDE (my usual default) seems supercharged. Some of this might be due to the fact that I did my first completely clean install in years and completely repartitioned - which removed WinXP and the DOS partition that I used to mount for cross platform sharing. I should also note that I have MARKED improvement after installing a vanilla kernel. -- Our DNSRBL - Eliminate Spam: http://www.TQMcube.com Multi-RBL Check: http://www.TQMcube.com/rblcheck.php Zombie Graphs: http://www.TQMcube.com/zombies.php
