So, what has been happening? My hard drives acted like they crashed. A couple of times. After migrating to openSuSE 11.0 and then on to openSuSE11.1, I have come to this conclusion. My computer just isn't up to it, my PCI-IDE adapter didn't consistently work, and X+nVidia=Unstable.
I installed 11.1. I really like it. But... It is unbelievably unstable. X crashes randomly. But frequently. I have completely given up on KDE for the moment. It runs really, really slow on my system. And it seemed the most unstable. So I switched to WindowMaker. I have used that for years as a backup. I got a little tired of it, and it wasn't any more stable. It is a little too simple. I only decided that after trying IceWM, though. Hell yes. I really like it. It is really easy to change the menu and the quick launch bar. I am still working on setting the icons and the backgrounds. I expect that to last about an hour or so once I set myself to it. Other than that, it is just as fast as WindowMaker, it works great over VNC, and it is great for tweaking. I expect much more from it in the very near future.
