General Development Having written open source software myself, and being a subscriber to mailing lists, etc, there is a realization that the number one thing missing from smaller open source projects is feedback from users.

What do I want from Linux distributions. The most important thing to me is, that if the computer crashes while I'm using it rebooting will generally let me back into the computer. By that I mean the operating system will still boot into one form or another. Actually I would like to boot back into a GUI however I know that is not possible most of the time because I have a knack of killing the file system. Typically when I crashed Linux I never get past repairing the hard drive errors. I hate that the most. I am noob to Linux; however I have installed Solaris 2.4 on a Sparc 20, with no outside help. I have always wanted to be cool and use Linux full-time. I just can't get past not easily changing my screen resolution/refresh rate and the whole killing the file system beyond my repairing ability. No way in hell could I ever installed anything into my computer and then find a Linux driver for that device. So I'm trapped in Windows. I am 25 years old and in 1993 I was using a 400MHz Cray at Sandia National Laboratories. The end
