Hi Arup

Yes, I agree with you. KDE and GNOME does makes
difference.

Yes, the problem was with cheap card. But later I
purchased the latest card with suffient RAM still it
has given me hair pulling experience. Um! On Unix I
worked somehting around 2+ yrs.Currently after Linux
CDs from PCQuest I restarted with Unix at home.

I been to Deja. But never tried this search. I feel
the instant help and userfriendliness is with
X-Windows, More.

You are right. I agree with you.

Yes, as a customer the power to choose is must. It is
very valid point.

Sun talks of Open Standard. But never comes up with
clear cut policy to agree with Vendors. It should let
loose the Java then see what happens.

Yes, you are correct....

Note: Though I unsubscribed from the list. I feel
strongly to reply you because your reply is not as a
attack on person but arguments to the points as
brainstroming. This is what is been expected.
