I've had AfterStep stay up for several month's at a time (ie, login once and work work work). Limited KDE or Gnome support, but then those are a little bloated for my tastes anyway.

It's very stable because it is very simple and hasn't changed much in 10 years. I like Blackbox because it's fast and seems a lot more stable than KDE. Any other suggestions? xfce is also good, so is Window Maker. I think icewm is similar to blackbox. -- Steve Borho Voice: 314-429-8300 ext:3042 Member of Technical Staff Celox Networking Inc Fortune of the day: Women aren't as mere as they used to be. -- Pogo ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
