jgibs...one thing that caught my eye is that you dont like linux because you feel the desktop environments ahve way too much eye candy? this puzzles me quite a bit, what distro did you try? as a developer i'd think you'd prefer to install gentoo and get a simple desktop like icewm or fluxbox (maybe xfce if you're feeling generous) ... unlike kde/gnome those lack all kinds of eye candy
 *goes back to using fully loaded gnome with beryl and everything*

I used to own an Indy workstation with IRIX installed on it. I used to just tinker with it. In hind sight, I wish I spent the money on a nice PC.
Oh well, at least I got to play around with it for a while.
