I've not seen FreeBSD just crash without explanation ever in a year of use. I have seen netscape whack X twice, just type startx again. I found KDE stable but too big on this 300m PII, 4G partition amd now I use XFCE or TWM. It -is- less intuitive than Windows for sure; you'd better be interested in learning something about O/S and computers or you may be disappointed. Actually I'm one of those who tried it 'cause I wanted a choice other thane Microsoft (Had the 1'st incarnation of Win98 at the time and I grew sick of fdisk/formatting on a weekly basis) Cheers, Steve On Tue, Nov 20, 2001 at 10:54:05AM +0100, Anthony Atkielski wrote: > Steve writes: > > > If you're tired of Windows crashing you sure can! > > The KDE environment under FreeBSD stalled or crashed on me nearly half a dozen > times in one day.
