I have yet to use RedHat 8, but its clear that his experience was not positive
not only for the fact that his desktop was slow (why would an errant eth
interface affect the performance of X programs ? never happened to me), but
most for the fact that a lot of user interactivity and system integrity
aspects in Linux in general and Red Hat specificly suck nuts.
I don't see any reason for the desktop switcher to cause Nautilus not to load
(which is what I can deduce happened from the author's description), or any
reason to use deskswitch at all - if you can use the login manager's session
change. except for the fact that gdm hides that feature very well - granted,
it's pretty and I use it at work as my main login (mainly as I want to
showoff Linux), but its usability for newbies is terrible.
