Complete bummer.... That and the Basic XFree are the only things I use...
It's a real pain in the ass to update the current systems to XFree 4.0.2/3
and then put Helix Gnome on them but I have found it is really worth the
effort once it is all done... On a side note, if DD was using X on our
alphas at all, I would have a real hard time with that, scince they
refuse to develop inhouse software for KDE, scine KDE really really
sucks.. But when I get back, I will probably have the whole alpha farm
finished and I will talk to somone about leaking the info about it so you
guys can brag. :)
