I was not talking about applications, but... - editor: of course Leafpad is not comparable to Gedit, not in features but also not in size and dependencies, but I prefer vim anyway ;) - pdf viewer: does LXDE even have one? I'm using evince-gtk But I'm not complaining. In fact I'm quite happy with the balance of LXDE and so do my mother, father and a few other users that I have inflicted Debian upon ;) The one user that I will not be able to convert is my brother who is still quite hooked up on KDE and has inflicted that on others as well if their hardware was good enough and I was too far for the initial install. Fortunately I was able to convince him to accept LXDE even on his office machines, so the only "victim" left is his brother-in-law, but it's on my TODO list :) Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
