and that's even on boxes with 128 Mb memory. Very quick and a small footprint, two items I really appreciate.
While XFce may not be everyone's choice of flavour, it is another option that really gets the job done for some of us. Yeah, KDE and Gnome are going to really be spectacular (rather spiffy already), but XFce has proven invaluable in a production setting here.
Pardon my lack of knowledge, I'm not a programmer but a business owner who moved his entire network to Linux over 3 years ago (yay!) but as the Applixware document formats are Ascii, that would mean that they'd be, more or less, importable into either GNOME Office or KOffice, possibly minus a bit of formatting, is that right?
If so, I believe I'll take a closer look at both of them!
I realize the importance to the community of being able to import/export from/to MSOffice file formats but on a personal level, I haven't used or seen them for years. Does anyone have any idea of the ability or either KOffice or GNOME Office to deal with file formats from Applixware?
As an Applixware user for the past 3-4 years, and a happy one at that, I'd not look forward to exporting serveral years worth of files from.as and.aw to.xls and.doc just to be able to import them into the KOffice or GNOME Office formats. Whew! Sounds like work!
Unfortunately, I've got to move one of my sites this week. It's been with Adgrafix for 3 months. Last three weeks I've had spot difficulties in retrieving pages, ftp'ing my server, telnetting my server, contact times getting longer and longer at certain times of the day. Tracerouting my server shows that the problem is between their gateway and my server, cpu usage on my server has been maxed out quite often. Worst part is, they think they're Microsoft 'cause when you contact tech support they start telling you that the problem must be with your box, "have you tried rebooting?", (yeah, right) etc. I don't have any idea where I'm going to take my account yet but, if I were you, I'd avoid Adgrafix like the plague.

China will ban use of Microsoft's new Windows 2000 operating system throughout the government and instead opt for a homegorwn software system.
Ministries will have to use "Red Flag Linux", a new platform developed by Chinese researchers and based on upstart operating system Linux, the Yangcheng Evening News said.
There's more info in the article but you can read it for yourself if interested.

you can now crash in record time! That's a plus, right?
Cheers.

Just another $.02 from the peanut gallery.

Of course, ymmv (again - yeah, right)
Cheers.
