Windowmaker is wonderful. And Gnome looks beautiful when you install some of the special themes, or make your own. I have to use Windoze NT all day at work, so my desktop of choice at home is always some window manager on top of FreeBSD. Its such a refreshing change to come home and know that I can tweak it to do whatever I want! Rob ps. Does anyone know how to make Linux-Netscape retain the scaled TTF font that you specify. On my Dell 8200 with 1600x1200 I always have to set the font scale to 18 before I use it. It will not retain my settings.
