I do run an RH9 partition on one of my PC's, an IBM R50. I have no 
problems with the desktop or with setting up - it's just that when I 
want to do something serious in Unix, it's always so much easier to 
reach for the Mac. In fact, what I'm doing right at the moment is 
testing an Apache/MySql project on the Mac while using Windows XP on my 
R50 - the same one that has the RH9 partition - to edit the PHP scripts 
in Dreamweaver MX.
