Yeah, I think it just depends what you call desktop/enduser. I check mail, surf web, listen to mp3s, write code. Can't think of what my audio station doesn't do that I wish it did better ... Hm, I guess I do use different users for irc than audio though, 'cause I'm kinda lazy with audio so I just run as root for most purposes. Iain Atte Andr?
