Linux has a long way to go to make it to the mainstream desktop but it's 
also come quit a long way over the years. Does anyone in their right 
mind seriously use Motif (or even any of the NEXT knockoffs for that 
matter).  They really make Microsoft look good....

I was "away" from Linux for 3 years , came back and decided on Fedora 
Core 3 because a) it had the latest and greatest versions of my fave 
Desktops (KDE & Gnome) and no one else did and the large user base meant 
I'd find more help from folks like yourself.

I've been overall very pleased with it.  I tried SuSE 9.1 last month and 
while it's more "polished" in appearance (their old GNOME 2.4 excluded) 
it's far less stable than any of the FC3 Tests were.
