You are right. On tthe other hand, it is better to have those running, and
provide new user with all their functions thantelling him that he must run
them. At least that's wahat I guess was RH motif.
:2)but with xfree first of all xfree is not the most stable gui system on
:linux its really buggy
I think the only way to configure it quick and good, is writing
XF86Config from scratch (no, it is not impssible, it is even easy)
:just try to switch while in xfree to the console and see the debug lines of
:xfree( do it with ctrl +alt +f1(tty)).
Xfree is not a windowing system, but a gentle remind of what we are
missing due to SunSoft (then) inability to distribute NeWS properly. So
NeWS died, and we have X. Refer to unix haters handbook for details.
Staaam. Most of xfree 's stderr is about debugging info. It is
overbloated, but it works pretty well even with cracked softwqaree. If you
want to see a nightmare, try commertial X server.
:3) about gnome its not a stable window manager like kde but its really nice
:looking.
gnome is not a window manager. It is a library set. Like Qt in KDE.
:and by the way my box is great to and in winXXX i dont have any problems
:only on xfree it gets stuck
:oh and can some on tell me where can i get iso8859-8 fonts for xfree and i
:dont mean webad or webmonospace fonts .
:4) even though slackware is freebsd i think that its faster then rh or any
:linux distro's
Even though? BSD is fast like hell, like demon, like daemon, like daemon
with a fork(2) in hands, like BSD. It is faster than Linux, and I think
faster than any other Unix on same hardware. You probably ment that due to
the fact that Slakware is so BSD-like, it feels faster than RH, or any
other distro.
:RED hat is more to new usersand slackware is more stable as a server os.
