I remember Gentoo had a crappy version of that. Even four sides is cool! How does it interact?

If I move the mouse to the upper left - it brings up what you see in the deviation - or if I click on my taskbar (which is up the right side) it spins

That's so much better than the Gentoo. If you went too far to the side, the screen would just flip on you.

I set the bar to the side to prevent that

Ah! There was no way to prevent it except by closing all the windows. And the desktop was the same, you couldn't put certain icons on different workspaces. They were all present on all faces.

Do you have access to a library computer, maybe a school computer... (on highspeed it would only take on hour - one 28.8 it'd take a day...)
by the way is the 28.8 limited by your modem or your ISP.. (cause if it's the modem - I'll send you a nice 56k)

i have to sort out my main comp before i fool with linux - like EXPOSÉ 6 guideline 3636 pixels wide and/or 2657 high or higher - mine is 3600 x 2700

If your going to try a standalone - I suggest something based on Red Hat - so Mandake 10 or Fedora Core 8 (past 8 gets a little 'needy' )
