No recommendation, but a few comments; It's fairly straightforward to get X to run without a window manager - just don't start one! This should work well as long as your single app only has a single window. With more than one window, you more or less need a window manager. "Working firewire" depends highly on what firewire hardware you are using, since firewire audio devices don't have the same kind of standardisation that USB devices do. Check with the FreeBoB people. As long as you're not planning to distribute the software packages you build (in which case you have to worry about dependencies and compatibility), it's pretty easy to build your own packages at least on DEB and RPM based systems. Just install Checkinstall, and type 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install' when you've built the software. It will generate a package file automatically. --ll
