        I asked Donnie Barnes about it at the RH Revolution Tour demo thing
they had a few months back. he said that he hadn't had time to update it for 6.0

        what's the M6.1 install like? RH-copy again? or something new?
        I hear that RH 6.1 will have a GUI install like Caldera's.

        not really a KDE fan myself. I use FVWM/FVWM2/AfterStep at work
(chosen mostly randomly; all I ever run is xterms), and wm2 on my Debian box
at home. I think I favor GNOME over KDE for "fancy" environments; but not
for any really good reason.
