Over the yeas I have loved what you people did with the os and how stable. I have also relied on the use of xwindows to get some tasks performed in a quick and easy. I currently run 4.6 and loved the kde and xwindows (XFree86). However, I now have version 4.7, 4.11, 5.4, and now 6.0 and what the sam hill have you guys done with the easy install of xwindows. xorgconfg does not show all the cards, went to install gftp used the ports but the machine ask to go to internet to get additional files. What gives, you took an easy thing and mucked it up. kde3.3 and 3.4 does not act as well as 3.0 and i cant get the resolution up over 800x600. I tried to install xfree86 as suggested in the documentation but it does the make install but it does not install all the files. come on do you want me to go to red hat. you need to clean up the release so that novice users can install and you the most powerful and stable os's that exist. thanks warren schreiner
