Heres a good point about linux, anyone found a good irc client for x (other than Bitchx in a E-Term :) that doesn't crash everytime you click (yagirc anyone). I still find for everyday use Win95/NT is better (quaking, ircing, browsing, ftping). It seems that linux has quite a good range of applications, just a case of find one, and one that works fine.
