I thought the whole point behind the open source movement was that it was 'free'. This makes no sense, it is too fragmented and they still miss the main point. No applications, easy installation of software, and some sort of standards without all the duplication of the same command ect.

Linux will forever remain a tinker os on the desktop, for the average user, Windows will remain the main os for all day to day get the job done computing. I agree with the other comment, the rpm needs to go.

One point off the subject, installing Linux on a laptop is still like a role of the dice. Modems don't work, getting the cd burner to work is like pulling teeth. Until they can get some of the basics figured out without requiring constant tinkering and patching forget it.
