i would agree with your statements.
ease of use is whats gonna make linux the desktop for so many.
it has to be easy to use for most of us. this is not to say it will
become less powerful. there will be always be the command line
and those big black hole that people call terminals :)
i dont understand why some people seem to get upset that
linux is becoming easier and easier to use. i would like to
have a discussion with some that feel this way.
and i have a question, why do some people get upset with
the idea that some will make money on linux. if linux is to grow
then some people will want to buy some software. distros need
a little money to make the cd
s and keep their work going.
