I'm just asking, I do not want to start a flamewar about which is the better/worst. :) That's the reason why I have kde and xfce on my machine. I always have a fallback plan. I spend I few weeks for Unity from unity-gentoo overlay and the big gnome-3.8 update messed up everything and I spent almost a week the get back Unity, and I gave up. During this week I was able to work on my machine because I had kde. -- -- Csanyi Andras (Sayusi Ando) -- http://sayusi.hu -- http://facebook.com/andras.csanyi -- ""Trust in God and keep your gunpowder dry!" - Cromwell
