Linux will become ubiquitous in the year 3000. Okay, that was a horrible joke. Linux is just a kernel, the engine that runs an operating system. By itself, it is essentially useless. Kernels shouldn't be discussed or noticed by normal users. And as such when providing these users with reviews, previews and "professional" opinions, computer consultants, computer reviewers and computer journalists should not spew headlines like "Linux is not ready for prime time", "Linux on the desktop by XXX", "Linux to takeover Windows", "Linux is not ready for desktop" and so on.

<< Developers please document your projects. And please write them in a simple language my 5 year old cousin can read and understand. If you want people to participate in your project, it has to be thoroughly documented and easy to decipher. I personally do not participate in and support projects that are designed for elitist. And I'm sure many people don't. >>
Not trying to sound disrespectful but if you need documentation worded for a 5 yr old, you probably dont need to be coding. Projects are not basic programming 101, major instensive programming is done by elite hackers/programmers. If you dont know how to code you will not be making Openoffice a killer bug free app overnight. my advice is if you wish to code go with something small, WindowMaker, XMMS, Scribus something like that.
