after using linux for about 6 weeks now, and i'll never go back to windows!! just a few days ago, i went in to play a game, and it locked up after doing nothing, so i was going to open up a console and type 'killall -9 [whatever the game was]', untill i realized that i didn't have the console (i guess that means i'm converted...)

anyway, i only have a few problems w/ linux, but most are b/c i don't have the knowledge i need. the one problem i can't stand is that while i'm in GNOME, sometimes the dialog boxes and/or windows will just be grey when i switch between virtual desktops, and they stay that way for sometimes a few minutes. this is not cool. does anyone know why these windows are not displaying the information for (what seems like) long periods of time? i don't think i've seen this happen in windows *cringe...evil thought, AHH*

Master of Reality:
use KDE. (i dont know the answer, but i havent had this in KDE or Enlightenment)

choasforages:
lag in the gui toolkit. its a design issue/*threads are you friends*/

voidmain:
Hmmm, I haven't seen that behavior. Maybe it's because I am not running the stock kernel and am using the nVidia accelerated video drivers and have lotsa RAM and a fast processor. I know with the stock kernel I did have strange problems when using VMware but upgrading the kernel and not using the Red Hat patches fixed that. And I didn't know you could switch between virtual desktops on Windows (without adding 3rd party software that is).

well, it also screws up when i goto another app in linux like cliking on something else in the taskbar or minimizing something...

but anyway, i am not use the stock kernal, have a AMD 1.1, and 384mb ram, i just didn't dl the nvidia drivers cause i don't know how to compile them. i looked at the instructions b4 i had linux, but none of it made sence and haven't looked at it since
