After a day of playing around with Ximian and wishing I was using Enlightenment again, I've now decided to stick with Ximian. When ftp'ing finally works and this blogger is finally up-to-date I may put up a few screenshots of my old and new desktops. The reason why I've decided I like this is the fact that I now have all the programs I should ever really need at the top of my screen. Redcarpet is perhaps too much hassle than it's worth, since d/ling from the Redhat site takes a long time, it doesn't look for cached copies, and it's had problems installing some things. But we'll see how it goes. Redcarpet certainly has it's advantages if I can get it to work.

I've also now got galeon.. one of the reasons I upgraded to Ximain Gnome 1.4 since I was having major dependency issues. Galeon is sooo cool and now takes precedence over mozilla. However there are a few downsides.. such as tabs being there even when you only have one page open (such as now).. I'm having enough trouble with this screen size as it is. And the really useful search-engine bookmark toolbar is fantastic.. just a shame I can't minimise it when I need more room. Still, I have a few nice themes now.. and pretty much everything is as I need it (I spent last night organising bookmarks and getting the look exactly as I like it.

So YAY for Ximian and Galeon. Yay!
