The real problem with linux, for me anyways, is that I can't record music on it. Period.
I think that the larger problem is that there isn't a single, major distro that is easy enough for a complete newbie to computing to use. Mandrake approaches this, but it's still overwhelming. If there was a distro with Mandrake's ease of use, with Peanut Linux's size, we'd have a winner on our hands. Newbies don't need to wade through hundreds of packages prior to install. The basics will do just fine. Newbies done need every possible server under the sun. Generally, they don't need any servers at all.
Remember folks, M$ os'es until XP only required 200MB or so to install and most people are quite happy with that. Strip away the non-essentials and market it. Linux will go far that way.

Subject: [expert] problem with linux
The problem with linux is the linux community is always creating products to
catch up with windows. I say screw that. I linux community needs to make a
product that is revolutionary and that windows can't use. People will
release that only linux can do this and a lot more users will at least try
linux.
