[ale] Ximian

[Chris Fowler]

I'm not sure about Ximian.  But I'm against purchasing add-on desktops my self.  I
purchased TriTeal CDE for RH 4.2 when it came out.  Of course RedHat discountinued their
support for that and I could no longer use it.   I think I may be interested in the Ximian 
mail client that supports Exchange.

Something I wanted to mention at the Kennesaw meeting, but forgot about...

I've been considering migrating from KDE to the Ximian desktop. I've been 
fairly happy with KDE, but I still experience occasional instability problems 
and enfuriating inconsistencies in the interface moving between programs. 
I've been eyeballing Ximian lately as a possible solution to these problems. 
I've finally resolved in my own mind that I'm not above paying for something 
commercially produced, either :-)

My reservations are this: 

Is Ximian truly a solution for these issues? 

Are there compatibility problems between Ximian and Redhat 7.2 (and what 
about 7.3?) 

Will the forthcoming KDE 3.0 release provide an equal, if not better desktop 
than Ximian?

I'd be eager to hear anyone shed some light on these points. I'm also 
curious if anyone has experience with commercial X servers as an alternative 
to XFree86. 

Cheers,
Eater
