Input methods are a big annoyance to people who don't use them; when we
installed RH 9 on my sister-in-law's computer, her first complaint was
that it "took too long to boot." I went in and cleaned up the boot
sequence and found that a number of different input methods that I'd never
heard of wasted many seconds at boot time.

I have no idea why the world has embraced firefox after rejecting
mozilla. Perhaps there's a hidden way to do it, but I've had much better
luck configuring the pop-up blocker in mozilla... The are lots of little
features in mozilla I find myself missing in firefox.
On the other hand, RH always seems to ship a Mozilla that's hopelessly
out of date so I usually end up installing my own in /usr/local and rpm
--erasing the one that came with the OS. (Funny enough, I do that for
all of the software that I actually care about.)
