A Frugal experience
Three days ago, I installed Frugalware 0.8. As the speed and the availability of the repositories is not always stellar, I decided to download the DVD1 and to install everything on it. I supposed this would give me the "feeling of bloatedness", something close to what you get when you install openSUSE and select everything.
Everything went well after all, except that during the install I could not enter 1280x800 as a screen resolution, but only 1024x768 was accepted. I ended up with an xorg.conf file having 1024x768 as a resolution, however the intel driver actually detected and use the native 1280x800 screen resolution.
I don't know if this was because I installed everything on the DVD or this would have been the default anyway, but the desktop manager (login manager) was KDM. Nicely skinned, though. This can actually be changed in /etc/sysconfig/desktop, and I can tell that I liked the way GDM looks too.
Oh, I had to change KDM to something else because it always started with NumLock ON.
