At NMSU we had to take a 1 credit pass/fail Social Implications of Computing. "Privacy, security of information, work and leisure, professionalism and licensing, legal safeguards, poitical and economic implications" We looked at one company that was offering memberships in a professional association and they had a code of ethics. I think they were just trying to make money though. Actually that's what I think of most honor societies that you have to pay money for something useless to put on your resume.

Actually, I've found that the GNOME included in Red Hat 6.0 is quite stable and very usable.

For the first time, I've actually been able to use the control-panel effectively and I can install GTK themes without bringing the whole thing to a crashing halt.

Now, I'm actually spending all my time within GNOME instead of a bare bones Window Maker session.

Check out my basic screenshot that I was able to whip up within minutes of getting RH6 installed.

I still use a couple of the KDE apps which RH thoughtfully included by default in the GNOME start menu. My one wish would be for GNOME and KDE to share the same theme format so that I could have a integrated look and feel for both sets of programs.
