I normally use WindowMaker in combination with the Gnome-Panel (you can see some screenshots at http://www.hentges.net/linux_look.html). All previous encounters with KDE were less than acceptable for me. But now with 3.1 i have to say "WOW" ( and a mighty big WOW at that!) This thing is *fast*. I'm running it on display :1 on a 600er Celeron with a mere 256MB of RAM with WindowMaker and *lots* of open programs on display 0. No more sluggishness of Konqueror. This thing responds faster than Windows (which in the case of KDE never has been the case before). I've heard of KDE 3.1 being now more responsive but i would never have guessed such a huge improvement. /me bows to the KDE developers. -- Matthias Hentges Cologne / Germany [www.hentges.net] -> PGP welcome, HTML tolerated ICQ: 97 26 97 4 -> No files, no URL's My OS: Debian Woody: Geek by Nature, Linux by Choice
