Huh? A GUI is composed, visibly, of a window manager and a mouse (etc.). You must be referring to a GDE, which is a massive suite of graphical applications that runs _in_ a GUI. Why are you misinforming the newbie here? We all know that you are perfectly aware of the differences between these things: #From: John Hasler <john(a)dhh.gt.org> #Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.misc #Subject: Re: KDE Commentary #Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:52:31 -0500 #Message-ID: <87eirz905c.fsf(a)thumper.dhh.gt.org> # #Sidney Lambe wrote: #> Slackers don't have to use KDE or Gnome or any other GDE. # #nb writes: #> Try and view graphics from the command line, dolt. # #I run X with no "desktop environment". Works fine. #-- #John Hasler #john(a)dhh.gt.org #Dancing Horse Hill #Elmwood, WI USA You are using a GUI and it has to include a window manager. So there's no doubt that you know what's going on here. Have your corporate masters, the ones feeding the GDE money to Debian, come down on you? Yes, John, I know that you read my articles. Sid OT: Who is the mental retard with a hundred names who follows me around? Just that.

I'm thinking of doing that just so I can run firefox to talk sense to the ADSL modem, as it uses html frames :( Unless there's some way to teach linux to let another box look at the modem IP:80 on a eth0:1 dev or something? I don't use *ubuntu. Slackware would be a better server install anyway :) Optional GUI. Grant. -- http://bugsplatter.id.au
