Well sort of an install problem. I am running a non-Intel Linux
(MkLinux -- a Linux/PowerPC server hosted on an OSF Mach3 kernel).
The Linux/PowerPC is based on Red Hat 5.0 at the moment (work is going
on to get RH6). There are a lot of tools that need to be
upgraded/installed for us to use GNOME. There are some people who are
working on it.
I have access to a GNOME based RH6 system at office and that is really
neat. I think it is neat. A bit of a resource hog as compared to
using straight X11 and vtwm, but thats the price you pay for advancing
the desktop and I have no problem with that. I think GNOME is better
in some ways as compared to KDE. But KDE had KOffice ... GNOME still
has to get something like it. KDE has been available for a bit longer
then GNOME and so is a bit more mature.
Anyways I digress from ....

p.s. has anyone taken a look at MoneyDance ??

It is entirely Java based ... so a bit slow on (esp. on my
machine)
