The download page was up before, but I tried it and it didn't work. Slackware is good, but not good enough to get me to give up GNOME. |

Snuh? Download page works fine. :) |

Maybe the GNOME install itself didn't work. I'd try it, but if I want GNOME, I'll just install Debian. |

bigg, I don't get it. If you use slackware with gnome, how would that be giving up gnome? Am I not understanding you correctly? |

Sorry to not be clear. I tried GNOME SlackBuild a couple days ago, and at that time couldn't get it to download, even though the page said it was available. Dropline GNOME is not yet available for Slackware 12.1 either, so I was running XFCE. I will now be able to install and run Slackware 12.1 + GNOME, hence my title of "Awesome". |

Thanks bigg. The first thing I usually do with gnome based distros is install XFCE! I'm glad free software gives us all the choice. |

> The first thing I usually do with gnome based distros is install XFCE! XFCE is my favorite windowing environment too, but both my wife and I really need Evolution as our email client. It's the only one which seems to meet all of our needs. I've been getting by with a garnome compile of Evolution, but Meredith really seems to prefer a full Gnome environment. Now I can upgrade her to 12.1 whenever we can find the time. |

Say what you will about GNOME, but it's relatively quick, has a lot of nice utilities. It's working for me, for the moment, anyway. |

there are very few WM's I dislike. I just prefer some more than others. |

The only WM I hate is the one on Windows. |
