Hi Erik, Too soon to say. The keypad problem limits its usefulness right now, so I have only been cruising up and down menus and examining the choices etcetera. One nice thing about the X window system though is that you have a large number of choices of "Window Managers" you might run, some of which are look alikes for MS Windows and others are quite different. Gnome and Gnopernicus do not limit you to any particular Window Manager. The Gnopernicus developers recommend starting with either "sawfish" or "metacity" but I do not have a feel yet for how they function. This stuff is way too new to be useful right now, at least my implementation is. But it is like the proverbial talking dog: the amazing thing is not how well it talks, but that it talks at all.
