I've just mentioned in another post how that happens.
If you think FF's power to mire a Linux system is formidable, imagine it with OS/2's "little" shared memory pool: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.ports.os2/msg/420da1c78b9c4ee6
I'd rather not.
How did you come to choose RedHat/Fedora when you left OS/2? SUSE seemed to be the favorite among multibooters posting in the Usenet OS/2 groups in the years before *buntu. RedHat always demanded those who wanted access to their HPFS partitions while booted to Linux to compile their own kernels, and still AFAIK Fedora does that even now.
SUSE, I think, wasn't around then, at least on Oz. Donnie Barnes (RH) was out there in usenet helping wannabe Linux people. RHL got good reports. I bought RHL 3.0.3 from RH. I bought more recent releases in Oz. I got Hurricane on a cheapbytes CD, bought RHL5.1 and (I think) 5.2. I stopped buying RHL when I thought the price was getting too silly.
5.0 is when I switched off OSS/2. Lotus brought out new client release of Notes, not supporting OS/2. I didn't use Notes, but I did ask myself, "If Lotus, and IBM subsidiary, doesn't support OS/2 why should I use it? and "What can I do on OS/2 that I can't do on Linux?"
I was already using some free software on OS/2 - PINE, Apache, emx. I did download some releases through a modem.
I don't suppose you know anything similar in ease of use on Linux to PMView on OS/2 for simple cropping, format conversion, resizing or color tweaking, do you? How about a file picker like XFile? Those two OS/2 features, plus running DOS SVGA text mode apps better than DOS can do itself, are why I still haven't given OS/2 up yet.
I didn't do any image processing on OS/2.
Forgive me please if I've asked this before, but I don't remember whether.
