yes, indeed.  I've been thinking of giving it a test drive.  how does
it differ from FVMN2 or whatever the weird name of the xwindows that
comes with Red Hat 2?

I really like this about Linux, that there are a number of different
windows managers and desktop environments to choose from.  by the same
token, I really resent M$ telling me how my computer needs to look.  I
really hate buying a new computer and having a dozen advertisements
installed on my screen.  I don't even know what half the icons
installed on my windows desktop mean, all I know is that I can't get
rid of half of them.

Linux makes it clear that windows is not an operating system.  It is
an attempt to own your computer.

>Gnome???  

What is gnome? (I'm a newbie, so forgive me please.)

>Hello???
