I think that Linux has a long way to go before it reaches the corporate
desktop and the typical home setting. I think this is because of Linux's
"sysadminitis". Linux is a great OS. It is geek-spectaular and all that. The
problem is that I'm not a sysadmin, nor do I ever want to be one. I'm a
Luser that just wants the stuff I use on a daily basis to work... and work
together. I want to be able get everything installed and up in running with
minimal effort. I think I speak for many many people when I say this. Many
argue, "well all the doc is there, RTFM". What if I don't want to RTFM
because I have other stuff to do that I feel is more important to me? Since
I first started playing with Linux, it has improved greatly in the "install
and work" department, but it still has a ways to go. I definitely want to
see linux succeed, but programmers who are serious about seeing linux to
mainstream really need to address this issue. Linux also needs some better
pr.
