This is in response to something that I read on an Ubuntu Brainstorm page.
Attention people who think that you need an expensive video card
in order to run Avant Window Navigator, AKA Awn: I have a computer that I maintain with a Diamond Monster Fusion video card (tdfx Xorg driver) that runs Metacity + Awn 0.3.1 (on Ubuntu Hardy) just fine, with applets, on an everyday basis.
This has been a public service announcement by your somewhat friendly Awn/Awn Extras developer. You may now continue to go about your Interneting.
