I have tried the Gnome with Debian, SuSE, Redhat, and Mandrake. The only distribution that gave me any trouble was SuSE 6.1 and that was because it had an old version of the Gnome on it. Redhat, Debian and Mandrake have all worked flawlessly, particularly if you keep up with the patches. I have had alot of success with Gnome core 1.07 and Gnome libs 1.0.10. If anyone wants, I can get into some of the details of why the Gnome can be unstable, and how to fix some of it problems. Also AFAIK, version 1.0.50 will fix alot of the instability seen previously as well as allow for the framwork of 2.0. Again, if anyone would like some help, I'd be happy to provide what I can, and maybe point you in the right direction, please email me.
