It's using JRE which I don't care for, but at this point at least it functions :) So now I'm starting to play with XFCE to see what I can do. Not to cause any problems, but I like the desktop at Dreamlinux (<a href="http://www.dreamlinux.com.br" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.dreamlinux.com.br</a>) which I think uses Compiz. I followed Vincent's instructions for installing and running Compiz, but it wouldn't work. I think it's because I'm using an old SIS chipset (SIS 630?). But the funny part is that I can run the DreamLinux desktop (differences in the Compiz build?). So I started looking around at Docks that kind of sort of look like the Mac OS X one. I found Simdock and installed it. Has anyone configured it on their desktop? How can I replace the panel in XFCE to use Simdock? Third question (last one for today I think) - I was looking around for E17. I could only find e16 and "enlightenment" but I didn't find e17. Does anyone know where I could find e17? Also, if I install it, will gdm pick it up so I can just choose from the session? Thanks! Jeff P.S. So far I think Xubuntu is just great! I've been a Redhat person for a long time and Xubuntu is just great for my little old laptop! Very easy to use and the wireless setup is great! -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div></div> -- _________________________________________ mail: <a href="mailto:returnCode@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">returnCode@gmail.com</a> blog: <a href="http://returnCode.wordpress.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://returnCode.wordpress.com</a> _________________________________________ -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Vincent
