I use xterm and the browser and the files we created ourselves for storing info. The GUI is a HP thing and I dont like it.

Our mini is for using while traveling and keeping up with finances while were on the go etc. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + < email: noc@hdk5.net > "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
