I have been very, very happy about this OS. I use exclusivly for work and play. but the darn 2.1.5R make me want go back to 2.1R, or 2.2 beta. xemacs complains about libXm missing. when building it cant find "needed Xlibs" ? fails during configuration. I could build it without X windows support... but then that takes all the fun out of xemacs!
