Hi Richard,
I am a linux newbie, but have been in IT for 5 years no and from that back
ground I would say Linux is in the stage "coming of age". I believe it is
not for the new computer user but is definitely for the average- advanced
computer user. Someone with a little computer experience under their belt.
With a few more click and pick interfaces, and support for more types of
devices eg usb and more divervse device support it will become a Windows
killer.
If linux developers got the support from hardware and software manufactures
that Microsoft does, Linux would have already beaten Microsoft for the most
superior OS.
These are my thoughts only and do not represent anyone else.
