There seem to be many reviews on Red Hat 9.0, but all seem to be written by Linux junkies who really know their stuff. What about the MS Windows Convert? They say people like the first thing they use (i.e. if you learn to drive a manual transmission, you prefer it over automatic). If this is true, how does Red Hat 9.0 introduce a novice pc user to the world of computers? I hope to answer some of those questions in this tiny review.

"I always see the same problem: Linux not ready for the desktop! -Well, in fact it is, but not having allot of commercial apps and giving the UNIX legacy makes it harder for the average Windows user to understand different concepts."
You almost had me there.
I also think that Linux is ready for the desktop, but I am tired of their argument that there are not enough apps. That really is so true as it was some years ago. There might be a few Windows programs out there that you can't find an alternative for, but that list has been growing very short. It is true that some of those alternatives create work files that are not compatible with windows software and then it is hard to share your files with a windows users and *that* might be your reason, but it only creates a vicious cycle. Maybe your Widows counterpart is waiting to try Linux after you do so that your files will be compatible with them?
