    Why anyone would want some sort of output from putty to be stored into a file named 'all' is beyond me. Try 'putty > /dev/null'.

    What Gnome theme are you using? Is your black/red color theme throughout the OS, or just the taskbar? I've been looking for a new, good, simple black and red theme.

    My faves have always been Faenza, iComity, Crash-Bit and the one I posted above is AwOken which I think is decent too.
