Anthony, Until just yesterday, I had the latest SuSE with KDE on one of two Linux drives on this machine. Depending on what mirror I got SuSE from to do their network install, KDE was more or less stable. I did the install three times in the hope of making the desktop operate properly and was unsuccessful each time. Odd panel applets would pop up unexpectedly, or I couldn't control the speed of the various screen savers or whatever. I've had none of this with Red Hat 8.0's default desktop. It's stable, it works. Now, admittedly, I had the reiserfs on the drive when SuSE was installed, not ext3, so I don't know to what degree the file system contributed to the instability. But I've made some permanent changes in my network software because of it; its not a toss-up here any more. Red Hat got the nod and was installed on two workstations and a web server. I'm happy to learn that you got a decent file system check, including the necessary remedies. Best wishes.
