I haven't been using KDE or GNOME for years. I use XFce and, therefor, I have zero problems with anything related to the GUI.

Install the apt-rpm package then just use the exact same commands as you would in Debian.

I still think that the "Big 7" are all very good options and using any of them (well, except TurboLinux) is fine. If you want to move to Debian that's great. Just make sure you are doing it with some clue as to why. The things you describe above are completely non-issues and trivial. - -- "Khaaaaamaaayyyy, Haaaaamaaaayyyy, HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" -- Goku, Dragon Ball -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE92vZSHeWRPx8OIHARAhguAKCAlmHHKIKz8HPoVjgGYM0BsQC4YQCgjF+b tG79jJjp5nTkL4y/UTKvfCc= =peTt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
