KDE is taking really long to compile so dont expect a release this weekend.

I'm also going to look into adding freevo since so many people have requested it in the past.

At the moment, XFCE works perfectly, the KDE<->XFCE switching scripts work perfectly, VNC is setup to automatically use the current Window Manager selected for the user, i.e. if Xfree uses XFCE, so does VNC and if Xfree uses KDE, so does VNC. The only issue is, if youre using KDE in Xfree AND VNC it causes massive slow down. Frozen-bubble is fully playable in fullscreen mode with a keyboard, Mplayer and XMMS have been added as sudo executables meaning you can just click the icons now and you will be able to access F: with them, telnet has been added, USB Prism2.5 wireless devices are now supported with linux-wlan-ng (though youll have to configure it), Mozilla Firebird and Thunderbird are installed in place of the standard Mozilla, Kernel 2.4.22 works perfectly - I've had absolutely no glitches out of it. ProFTPd is installed and allows you to ftp files to/from /home/gentoox. There is now a new firstrun script which allows the user to select which services should/ shouldnt be run automatically on boot and it allows the user to select which window manager they want to use (which can also be changed later). Currently the list of selectable services are:

Samba
VNC
ProFTPd
Webmin

These can pose security issues to some people so its only fair that they be allowed to choose whether they are enabled or not by default.
