I meant, is there an elegant way for me to use GNOME and still run a KDE program (like a connection manager)?

I'm probably not going to modify my current setup, because I'll be moving into a dorm in a few weeks. On that note, I probably will need some hardware to serve my new accommodations. (The university housing ran out, so they rent local apartments and sublet them to students. As a result, I'll enjoy Comcast as my ISP rather than the campus wireless network. :( ) I'd be interested to know what has worked for you.

Well I never had Comcast but both Daughters and a Son have/had..Comcast can set you up wireless for your place or you can yourself..That should clear up your issues..

I don't use Gnome so I'm not the one to advise you..Maybe someone else can
jump in...


Good luck at college..
