Version 1.0 of Gnome was far less stable than NT. I didn't bother with
KDE, wasn't much of a CDE fan when I had an HP-UX box. I'd rather do
straight WindowMaker if I were to go back to Linux as my desktop OS.
Don't know how Redhat 6.1/Gnome is but my guess not that much better.
I'm also kinda bummed I read all this negative stuff about Netscape on
Linux. It runs fine for me on NT but then so does IE 5.0. Netscape is
fatter and slower than I.E. 5 which is not great but it doesn't crash.
Isn't Opera working on a Linux port?
