It turns out that Netbeans, or rather the Java SDK, didn't like the
fonts I was using in Kubuntu. Now that I'm using Fedora Core 4 again, it
hasn't crashed one. It's no faster and it's still like running through
treacle, but it doesn't crash. And that's a damn good thing.
I installed the beta of Safari for Windows out of pure curiousity. It's a weird feeling! I wish Apple would release OSX for Intel PCs; I'd blow XP away in an instant. Or at least relegate it to dual boot for games. So far Safari is decent - I'm not seeing the raw performance that some people claim. My main complaint is that CTRL+BACKSPACE doesn't delete the previous word when typing this post. So far all sites I've visited looked good, though very reminiscent of Konqueror, which uses the same KHTML rendering engine. It failed to import my Firefox bookmarks, but I'll try that again. Let's see how it goes!
