well with Nvidia9 drivers you don't need XGL or AIGLX since the drivers does the support by itself, I tend to like that way better even though soon I will have to start using legacy drivers for my card<br><br>

</a><br>>><br>><br>> Gnome boring and M$ like??!!<br>> I think you'll find a few to argue that one. I mean we are all entitled<br>> to opinions but from my experience, if there was one factor that drove<br>

<br>> it was surely lacking, but it just keeps getting better and better. It<br>> seems your a Gnome guy as well, just the M$ parody made me chime in.<br>> Don't wanna start a flame war out there people, just my opinion and I'm

http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug</a><br>><br>hehe.<br><br>Just doing my part to keep conversation lively around here. I had a<br>feeling that might ruffle a feather or two. Couldn't agree more about<br>kde and useless crap, however. If anything, I guess kde really is the
<br>more M$-like, now that gnome has changed the menus around since when I<br>stopped using it. Generally, I use enlightenment, and what really turned<br>me against gnome was not being able to start nautilus without the whole
<br>damn desktop starting up and wiping out all my e menus.<br><br>One thing that both e and kde have over gnome, however, unless I'm<br>mistaken, is the ability to put a different picture on each desktop, so<br>I can tell where I am at a glance. I've been searching for that and not
<br>finding it in gnome. Is it even possible or should I just give that one up?<br><br>Thanks,<br>S.<br>_______________________________________________<br>nflug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:nflug@nflug.org">nflug@nflug.org
