I'm only going to use fluxbox on occasion.  I'm a KDE user for the most 
part, all I have had for several years actually.  Someone did post a way 
to start fluxbox even if kdm won't start tho.  I guess as long as X 
works, I can start fluxbox to at least be able to use google, forums and 
the mailing list for help.

That said, I do like some things about fluxbox.  It is seriously fast.  
I have a AMD 2500+ CPU with 2Gbs of ram so you can imagine how fast it 
is.  It's fast on a 400MHz machine with a small amount of ram much less 
this rig.  lol  I may work on getting my slideshow to work on the 
desktop background and who knows, may have a convert.  ;-)

Thanks.
