I use KDE for non-realtime apps or minor things with Ardour, JAMin, Audacity. I use fluxbox when I'm doing multitrack recording. I just put exec fluxbox into .Xclients-default in root's home directory, do an init 3, and then startx. When I get done with a session I log off and then do an init 5 to get back to the KDE login. This gives me the best of both worlds depending on what I'm running. Note: I run audio as root. Jan On Wed, 2004-02-18 at 16:05, Kent, Gary wrote: > Hi: > Hope this isn't off topic for this list.
