about the current crop of desktops... all my home Linux boxes are Pentium I - III machines): <quote> Intel(r) Core=992 Duo E6400 Intel(r) Q965 Chipset with DDR2 and Intel(r) Core=99 Duo support </quote> I didn't have any luck installing Ubuntu 6.06.1, and from what I've found via Google, it seems that I'm pretty much outta luck until kernel 2.6.18 makes its way into a mainstream distro. I'd really rather not be stuck with windoze for the next couple months until that happens. Any ideas? At any rate, I can't spend too much time trying to get my OS of choice up and running, since I kinda sorta have work to do. It's a bit off-topic, but if I *do* end up having to live with windows for a while, does anyone have any good tips for coping with a Windows desktop? I found a decent virtual desktop pager, but I still miss my middle-click-to-paste, changing window stacking via the mouse (e.g., middle-click the title bar of a window in pretty much any window manager to move it below other windows), etc. sm
