Compiz is not used by default, I think, certainly not in fluxbox. You can safely remove it. About junking pulseaudio: that's exactly what I did, without any harm. On the whole I'm not that satisfied with Intrepid and for now I keep Hardy on my laptop. Keep an eye on http://www.getdeb.net/ for the most up-to-date packages. m. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
