I don't think I have ever had XFree86 crash in the 9 years I've had a
Linux box running it.

Gnome, KDE, and all the other window managers have crashed. Except for
twm.

Good old twm.

Ugly, but damn stable twm.

Nautilus, if it ever gets to the point it needs to (to look and act like
a Mac :) will actually be pretty nice in many respects.

I'm not a KDE user as I was tweaking twm/mwm while KDE was ramping up
and I didn't like the QT license snafu. But I do like the KDE sdetup
with Knoppix. It made me reconsider KDE.

But the window managers still crash occasionally.

Except for twm.

It must be too brain dead to fail. Slackware can load it easily but
RedHat/Fedora/Suse don't. I need to find my old .twmrc.
