Poll question: What screen size do you use?
Computer display size for your GUI to display icons and programs with?

And does anybody use 256k color modes anymore?! (I hope not!)

I download it. The only time I compile is when I'm upgrading my kernel, or when I want to use kismet or madwifi(driver).

on edit: 1280x1024 doesn't fit right on the screen.

2. Cool, no 640x480
I hate having to conform to that low skinny dimension. 800x600 is so much more realistic... and usable too...
