More likely do not like them, particularly stuff like gnome, which comes complete with so many totally unwanted background process (stock market, weather, file changes, mail, blow flies, etc, etc , etc) Firebird has been okay, except for its tendancy to run away. Not helped that it drop the mozilla setting to turn off scripts for this site. I do notice that FF on linux is worse than FF on MSWin atm. Otherwise, I pick and choose. Do not touch Open Office as that is another bloatware and just clags the machines.
