Thanks for the reply. Ive installed gnome, having some problems running it and didnt get a chance to tackle it last night, but I will later. I guess I was just wondering whether the guys at ubuntu have just done a really nice job with gnome, or is this how it "looks". The fonts seemed smoother and window dragging wasnt jerky at all, even though it was running from a cd. But I will compare and see what its like. Eoghan
