KDE is more stable (and more developed yet) than Gnome I think, and has given us few problems. Try that maybe. The most stable distribution I believe is Debian. Updating application packages doesnt doesnt make the system unstable, works fine. Just dont upgrade the kernel and its libraries unless you have to. I think Redhat will return to 10 or 20, because there will be other and better distributions and I cant see where their revenue will come from, but shorting a software company may too risky. You never know. I was thinking of selling AOL at 100, because why would people sign up for something they could get on the web anyway, and since then I think it has split three times or something. This time I think that RHAT cannot make money selling software, and for support people will chose names they know, IBM, etc. And I may be just as wrong again.

Just got a dual-celeron PC, running RH 6.0 based no patches. So, what's your IP address? <g> (just kidding) Seriously, the out of the box RH 6.0 has the IP denial of service bug. I think you have to upgrade to 2.2.10 to get rid of it. I too had lot's of problems with Gnome. I switched to KDE and have been completely happy with it. I've noticed that all of the software that RedHat actually writes seems to be pretty iffy. For example, the 'printtool' has been around since 4.2, but it still has bugs that make it crash if you press the wrong button. I hope they get a handle on quality control soon. -Lee
