GNOME

[Tim Schmidt]

Don't worry about it Ben, advice is advice.  However, there is a packaged 
version for my distro, I've even installed it, but the previous X server 
(v3.3.6) is still installed and insists on running upon startup.  There 
should be a relatively simple fix for this, I'm just too new to know what it 
is.

Also, I realise that I would have more control from a text based login that 
doesn't start X when it boots, but this is my fun box and I like to try out 
new stuff on it (like the latest GNOME, and XFree86 4).
