- I have over 2 gig of HD space, but I don't care much about
- how pretty things look if they work well, and are easy to operate. I
- never got MUI to work properly when I was messing with amitcp. I couldn't
- use alot of stuff because the damn thing wouldn't run right. I don't need
- super-pretty interfaces, and I don't want to install and configure one
- "unnecessary" package I don't want just to get another I do want to work.
