hi camaleon, mostly on this old machine i work without a desktop: 
classical linux with kwrite, vim, ancient but very practical wordperfect 
(!) or another editor to make my notes and the changes i want. this time 
i installed the savage driver and xfce4 and *wicd*; just because wicd 
uses windows (gtk/gdk i guess).

the work i did the last two days (my family was gone) on, among other 
things, this wireless driver, is really fun and a brain-trainer.

i just got the b43-chip working be it a little bit slow.

thanks again,

steef
