Hi again,

No haven't tried Opera, but internet surfing as a whole seems to be a little faster even with Netscape 4.7x. Can you download the latest version of the KDE/GNOME desktop and then install in your distro, or would you have to do anything else?

Also I have another question. Say I downloaded the latest version of a program and it's not a .rpm file, i.e. I have to compile it myself etc. How do I uninstall the older version of the program, before I install the new one? Or, how do you uninstall a program in general? Thanks.
