I'm not a big fan of gui's cause the limitation is placed on the gui and
not the program/application. Whenever I get time, I'm gonna start jumpin
in and hack'n till its fixed. ;-> I use linux and solaris for server
comand line mode usually. Once in a while I try various Linux flavors for
my main home desktop use, but I usually go back to you know what cause my
patience is lost. But it does seem to be getting better. Some day.
