If you go to a store, even a store like "Trailing Edge" or similar second-hand-and-end-of-production jobber, and buy a computer with OS, you get Win 98SE or something newer. Comparing a commercial Linux offering of today to Windows of 1994 is spurious... a straw-man at best.

The point I wanted to make is that the "standard" desktop OS wasn't ready for the desktop when it became the standard.
My students say that Linux looks old fashioned. Apart from the more intelligent ones, most use xp at home and kde at school. Appearence counts for a lot. Is there anything apart from gnome and kde where one can drop stuff onto the desktop. And is as fast? xfce comes close. Steve.
