Like hell will it. They've been saying "two weeks" for ages. Besides,
I can't get Debian to dial up U-Net properly, which sucks. If anyone
knows how to get the ppp thingy to work properly with a U-Net
account, PLEASE tell me. I just need to have apt download all the
stuff I need and then I'll be happy :)

Umm.. why does a desktop need sound support? Shouldn't they fix all
the nasty crashy bugs and all thet first, before adding such options
as silly clicky sounds.
That said, GNOME rocks. Nearest thing we have to the Amiga, with
it's cool kinda screen title bar doobry ;)
