Hi Andrew,
Gnome is what I currently have running, along with Enlightenment. These two are what Brian is
suggesting I move away from. My Alpha CD has KDE on it, but I'm a bit unclear how I remove
Gnome and Enlightenment and have KDE installed so that takes place of Gnome when I run
the 'startx' command at the prompt.
Thanks for the help.
