When CentOS 4 will be released, most of this will be solved and there is less need to have the latest developments as the desktop really has matured the last year. I hope CentOS 4 will finally allow me to recommend Linux to family members without the overhead of upgrading every 4 to 6 months. -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
