But I thought you were after the QT toolkit - not GTK???  Or do you
really know for sure?  I must say, while I had tinkered with Red Hat
5.2/7.2 and Mandrake 8.0 (and like it very much), it was SUSE that
finally brought me into full-time use.  The thing I like about
Mandrake is that their setup (at least, in the past) offered a choice
between workstation and server setups.  I just thought that was very
well planned.
