I'm happy to report that I have successfully ported Epoch to linux.
If you do not know what epoch is, the quote from the FAQ at the end of
this posting will give you an idea. I could upload it now. However, I feel
that this is pointless since gcc2.2.2d will be released soon, so I think I'm
going to wait until I compile it with the new gcc when it is released.
(Unless somebody really want to try it right now, let me know). 

 I have been using Epoch for about a day now with no problems. I ran
on it dired, compile, the shell, and vm (View Mail) and they were all OK. 

========= Quote from the Epoch FAQ =========

A-1: What is Epoch?
  
  Epoch is GNU Emacs on steroids: an adaptation of GNU Emacs with lots
  of additional support for features made possible by the X11 windowing
  system.  These features include multiple editing windows, arbitrary
  colors and fonts (fixed-width and proportional), selectable zones per
  buffer with arbitrary display styles (font, color, underline, stipple,
  pixmap), an optional separate minibuffer window, improved keyboard and
  mouse handling, full 8-bit character set support, and more.
  
  Epoch, like GNU Emacs, is very customizable; much of this FAQ
  describes ways to customize Epoch for specific purposes.
