This is interesting, What does this mean?

Let me describe the situation a little better, now when I turn on the computer, KDE boots up without a login just like windows. My user name appears in the counsel on the command line before the cursor.

Sort of like a auto login.

I just installed Mandriva 2007, logged in to gnome and worked with it for a time. I decided to try KDE and found it very impressive. But now, I noticed the login and password box have disappeared every time I boot up.

What happened to the login box?

Well, I musta missed it... :unsure: - went over my head, I suppose.

See the ;) guy, tyme?

I got it, but did take some imagination. :D

I should add a weak password is a threat to any system. But a good security is a must.

I just started looking over KDE and been working with gnome. Like Ixthusdan said KDE is like windows. So far I don't see a performance difference. But then I just started with Linux.

Thanks ianw, yes that was gnome. I just started looking over KDE, most like windows.

I just installed Mandriva Free and it appears to be a successful install. Now I would like to change the wall paper and the startup music. I’m having trouble finding information about how to do it.

Now do you do that? :P
