At the server level linux has already taken off but for SOHO desktops it
is only meant for do-it-yourself individuals. Linux lacks consistencey
of installation and post installation procedures across different
distros with different hardware.
Linux will take off in a big way if the big distro manufacturers like
RedHat ( Fedora ) and Novel ( Open SuSe ) provide self installing driver
packages for their distros based on the latest available motherboards.
So instead of becoming a google zombie for every new mobo that comes
into the market, the engineer spends more time installing linux on more
and more systems.
