I want to mention something that is analogous to the old "naked king" adage.
I think that the "Linux world" is in big trouble. Despite the multitudes of "distros" and "projects", there is not a viable, relatively bug free and usable desktop available among the currently supported projects (in the post-Gnome 2 world). Gnome 3, Unity, and pretty much everything else sucks, is unusable and full of bugs, crashing wobbly windows and missing functionality. That stuff is a joke. Just try "Ubuntu 12.04" if you do not believe me. I have been a Linux user since 1995 and I am, frankly, frightened by what is happening. In the last year, the percentage of users of my website algebra.com who use Linux, dropped from 1 percent to about 1/2 percent. If Linux desktop is abandoned, then linux will be for a while relegated to the embedded world, and then everyone will forget about it. Our hard won software freedoms, abilities to do fun stuff, etc, will then wane into oblivion. i Frightened in Illinois ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
