I tried Mandrake and KDE - worked great for a few hours, then started 
acting strangely (e-mails and binary code snippets in var/log/messages,
for example) 
I went back to SuSE and KDE - it works for a few days, then starts locking
at random. So far, ctl-alt-bksp gets me out.
I think tonight I will load Slack 4.0 and Windowmaker - Slack 3.5 and
WindowMaker ran for about 8 months without a problem. Maybe being up to date
isn't worth the effort. - and, hey, WindowMaker looks good.
