I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it. My 'desktop' work consists of running Netscape, mutt, and a crapload of vi, so I don't particularly care, but it'd be 'nice' in a general sense to have more widespread support for X, Y, and Z. I don't care enough to push hard for it myself; I have bigger worries in my life. But I doubt many people will stand in your way on the narrow subject of 'push for the desktop'. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
