John, The thing is I don't think there is "one linux community". Linux the kernel is used in such a wide variety of applications by a diverse number of people. I don't really think there is one community. In my opinion there are a number of different operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Each of these operating systems, Redhat, SuSe, Debian *is* trying to address the issues you mention, but in different ways. Everyone working on these projects undestands the problems you are bringing up, but to solve them, they need to know when something isn't working, which is why a specific bug report from you would help them make their operating systems better.
