I certainly don't expect to reach total "stranger" status. There's just too much good stuff and good company here. Plus, I keep grabbing and setting files aside, so when I visit the Windows drive, I'll have plenty to keep me busy. First on my list of things to look at is the Object Dock I saw posted.

I guess the idea of Linux and *WIN*customize would seem to be at odds a bit, but it really would be nice if some of the great talent here, and the site itself would expand into the area of Linux themes, window decorations, etc. Perhaps some have, and I just don't know it.
Jafo - yes, until this latest experience with RH 8, I always did the same thing. I'd spend time here and there with various linux distros, but I'd always return to (and preferred) XP. This time though, it "clicked". I think discovering that it really is possible to everything in Linux that I'd do in Windows make it feel like a good time to move on over. Open Office is a fantastic office suite (IMO, much better than the previous version of Sun Office), and I even got my ATI card's TV tuner working. I think new major release of linux distributions will make it easier for Windows folks to make the move.
