Except for the bug in the install, (do not try to mount FAT32 drives in the install program) I have found RH 7.0 pretty stable. I had RH 6.2 running on my system and had earlier tried to install Mandrake 7.1 on my system, but Mandrake 7.1 gave me so many problems, I went back to RedHat. (And neither of them have as many problems as Win 2K. Remember the 65,000 known bugs when it was released.)
M$ Word 97 regularly screws up.rtf format. While many/. readers try to avoid Word, it is by far the #1 word processor in the world in number of users. So much for cross platform.

For a beginning programming language, I would have to recommend Java. Clemson University uses Java for CPSC 101/102 to teach CPSC, CIS, and CpE majors how to program. The syntax is not that difficult, it can run on both the UltraSparc systems in the lab and the students' Windows systems in their dorm room. The SUN API is well documented, so students can write more complex programs with less class instruction. Unfortunately, they still inflict C++ on the electrical engineers (CPSC 111) If you ever want to teach students to program do not use "Programming in C++", Nell Dale, Chip Weems, and Mark Headington, Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 1998 This book is not only almost impossible to follow, but it teaches C++ as a procedural language. OOP is not introduced until the end of the book.

Maybe the MPAA will shut down AOL.

...and then some good would come out of this mess.
