Shawn,
"...Basing an opinion that "linux sucks" on a single distribution (as
seems to be implied in this paragraph) seems rather wrong to me, and
somewhat narrow minded. Instead that opinion should be "Distro X sucks
and blows in my experience..."
LINUX = The KERNEL
The GNU contribution is the basis for the Free Software Foundation's
preferred name GNU/Linux.
Again,
The point I was trying to make was that as a DESKTOP alternative,
GNU/Linux (ANY GNU/Linux distro), Blows...and Sucks. For someone like
myself, GNU/Linux shortcomings as a Desktop replacement are a non-issue
(as I have been using GNU/Linux since 1995); but to the "average" user
(like my 5 year-old daughter, my mother-in-law & my wife) using
GNU/LINUX (ubuntu, fedora, SuSe, etc.) is a gigantic pain in the a$$.
I Love GNU/Linux; but I am pragmatic enough to realize its shortcomings.
I like to see the world for what it is, rather than for what I want it
to be.
