[olug] debian+reiserfs

[Nate Rotschafer]

I honestly don't know as GNOME seems rather old and not as nice as KDE so I 
use KDE 2.2.2 on my machine that runs X with my Radeon 8500 with XFree86 
4.2.0 (a manual upgrade not part of Woody....aka Woody has 4.1.0-xx).  
Anyone else know about Ximian on Woody?

Thanks,
Nate Rotschafer
