There is nothing wrong with Linux, but it isn't the Holy Grail that some think it is or want it to be. Linux has come a long way, but it also has a long way to go IMO.

Yes, and Dell offering ubuntu as an operating system in their new units may just get the ball rolling...

PB, that's great news. Choices are good for the consumer.

The consumer HAS choices, Business, Ultimate, Home or Home Premium. NOT!

I downloaded the AMD64 live DVD version of Ubuntu 7.04, and I just don't know how to connect to my wireless network.

I work full time in and around Linux on servers, desktops, etc. The best way to use Linux in a desktop is to tune it to a specific job like you'd find at DMV workstations, bank tellers, cash registers, etc. Many of the cash registers you see in dept stores today are already Linux based, like Autozone for example.

Linux like Ubuntu is great for learning about the nuts and bolts of your PC and Linux in general and when someone has the guts they can price a desktop system a lot cheaper.
