4 Hi!

6 The answers to most questions below is a matter of taste. I'm a gnomie
7 so you have to take that into account.
8
9 > 1. An X-Email-Client
10
11 Evolution (gnome-apps/evolution) is a really great email/calendar app.
12
13 > 2. An Environment for Turbo Pascal (best would be for X)
14
15 Not sure if there are any IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that
16 handles Turbo Pascal. Don't think there even is a ebuild for any pascal
17 compilers.
18
19 The way I'd go is by using Emacs with a pascal mode ( I think there are
20 some ). You could probably use VI too, I'm not sure about pascal mode
21 for VI but I'd guess there are some.
22
23 > 2) What wm do most people use (except gnome and kde)
24
25 GNOME and KDE aren't window managers. They are Desktop Environments.
26 GNOME currently uses Sawfish as window manager. KDE has kwm (I think).
27
28 Black Box is a pretty popular window manager. It's fast and small.
29
30 > 3) What's the most popular browser?? I like Opera, but I hate closed source.
31
32 I personally like Galeon (which is the best browser I've ever tested), I
33 haven't tested Opera though. As you, I'm against closed software.
34
35 It's available in net-www/galeon. It uses mozilla's renderwidget (so you
36 also have to install Mozilla for now).
37
38 > 4) Installing the nvidia driver prints this error:
39
40 Don't know nothing about nvidia-driver.
