Re: [SuSE Linux] What DO you lose with Linux ???
Heres a good point about linux, anyone found a good irc client for x (other
than Bitchx in a E-Term :) that doesn't crash everytime you click (yagirc
anyone). I still find for everyday use Win95/NT is better (quaking, ircing,
browsing, ftping). It seems that linux has quite a good range of
applications, just a case of find one, and one that works fine.
