ok...before anyone else tells me to install linux: i plan on it...but not
until this summer. i have three weeks left of classes, i know win95 (as much
as i hate to admit it), but i don't know linux, yet (in fact, i've only been
using unix for this one semester). so as soon as the semester ends and i
have some time (<time, what a lovely thought>) i'm going to install (and
learn) linux.
in the mean time: i've tried afterstep and didn't like it, that's why i'm
using fvwm2, so i'd like to be able to use on my new pc until i get linux.
btw my best friend suggested red hat, what'do y'all think? (since this is
off-topic, please send me personal e-mails instead of posting to the group)
thanx
