Running Xfree 3.3.3.1 & enlightenment 0.15.5/fvwm2. This is my work system (ie use it all day, every day), and its great. Admittedly, I don't tend to push the machine too hard, but speed seems fine, and quality as good as I've seen. No 3D, though, which is a bit of a bummer... Don't count on getting the integrated audio controller working, though. Even OSS doesn't give *guaranteed* support. Nick.
