OK, I'll jump in here with a different opinion.
From a technical perspective, Linux is more "ready for the desktop" than Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 were. Remember IRQ conflicts? Driver incompatibilities? DLL hell? Registry corruption? And the list goes on.
Er... don't know if you've noticed, but no-one in real life has been using either of those for years.
Even if particular applications do not use the registry, have a corrupt registry will disable a PC, forcing painful hours of fixes or a re-install. My collegaue had this experience last week and has still not "fixed" her pc. <snip> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
