from the looks of your header it's apparent you do:

Please don't post using HTML. There's another issue here too. The
biggest reason to use Linux, prob'ly has to be it's safety when
properly used. Connecting to the Internet with any M$ product is akin
to goin skippin in the wind naked. No matter what you do, posting and
receiving email, newsgroups, surfing the web, you'd be better off with
security set to 'welcome to crackers', running as 'root', with no
firewall or sentry on the net while using Linux. 'Specially if you
insist on using anything but plain text. Ever hear of a Linux user
catching the 'I love you' virus? Nope? 'Nough said.

FWIW, desktop windows are on the same level as politics and
religion, and Ford/Chevy/Toyota as far as 'which' goes. On that note,
after using Red Hat/AfterStep for a while, I tried a few other distros,
mainly Slack. I don't remember the WM, it might've also been afterstep.
Then (I was dual booting then too), I d/l'd phatlinux which runs on
a Windoze partition in a loopback (one big ol' file). At the time Phat
was Mandrake 6.0 with KDE. I soon sent for the 'real' Mandrake 6.0
CD's, slapped a second HDD in, and have been runnin Mandrake/KDE ever
since.
