I mostly just use the GUI to play music playlists at the moment. Right now Lenny's removing Open Office again to fix something, sothere's not much reason to count on things holding together until Debian gets all the latest bugs ironed out. Beats the hell out of Windows, though, which is only good for running Firefox and the NVDA screen reader. Michael
