Yes, that would be better. I sorta like my utilities idea, maybe someone else would be interested in it too. The main problem we have with it right now is what wiglet to use if it is done C... we don't want something that is GPL'd because of the licensing with BSD. Note, my plans do not include a window manager currently. Just some admin tools - the ``package deal'' will probally ship with a hacked-up version of FVWM2 or something. Anyone wanna help? -- Phillip Salzman "i broke it!"
