Thanks David, the problem is on my laptop which i'm using as a test machine at the moment so its not critical. I always keep my work machine at least one release behind. I could always just re-install 11.2 and not add the KDE4 repos and i'd be fine.

Well, to be candid, I changed the 11.0 in the repos listed to 11.2 because I thought you were running 11.2. I tried 11.2, but then went back to 11.0 due to the ati card in my laptop. (no driver for 11.2). All of the desktops mentioned work great on 11.0, so take your pick. If I were just looking at a first alternate or two, I would start with E16 and openbox. E16 is about 5meg total to download and openbox is about 1 meg. They install in seconds and are quite easy to work with. They will pick up your kde apps for their menus. With e16, don't forget to install the epplets as well (that enlightenment speak for 'Applets'). With openbox, just remember to also install 'obconf' and 'obmenu' for the config editor and menu editor. If you want a panel at the bottom of openbox or e16 for that matter, install the 'tint2' panel. Works like a chanmp. Both desktops will take about 10 minutes of stumbling around through the menus and configs to see how they work. Then you are ready to roll. Short learning curve for both. -- David C.
