for being a pain,<BR><BR>I got Openoffice installed (that's everyone!). It's
using JRE which<BR>I don't care for, but at this point at least it functions
:)<BR><BR>So now I'm starting to play with XFCE to see what I can do.<BR>Not
to cause any problems, but I like the desktop at<BR>Dreamlinux (<A
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://www.dreamlinux.com.br" target=_blank>www.dreamlinux.com.br</A>)
which I think uses<BR>Compiz. I followed Vincent's instructions for
installing and<BR>running Compiz, but it wouldn't work. I think it's because
I'm<BR>using an old SIS chipset (SIS 630?). But the funny part is that<BR>I
can run the DreamLinux desktop (differences in the
Compiz<BR>build?).<BR><BR>So I started looking around at Docks that kind of
sort of look<BR>like the Mac OS X one. I found Simdock and installed it.
Has<BR>anyone configured it on their desktop? How can I replace the<BR>panel
in XFCE to use Simdock?<BR><BR>Third question (last one for today I think) -
I was looking around<BR>for E17. I could only find e16 and "enlightenment"
but I didn't<BR>find e17. Does anyone know where I could find e17? Also,
if<BR>I install it, will gdm pick it up so I can just choose from
the<BR>session?<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>Jeff<BR><BR>P.S. So far I think
Xubuntu is just great! I've been a Redhat person<BR>for a long time and
Xubuntu is just great for my little old laptop!<BR>Very easy to use and the
wireless setup is great!<BR><FONT color=#888888><BR><BR>--<BR>xubuntu-users
