Linux 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.

Linux Developers

When a new company hires new programmers for a completly new product, alot of times they will look for fresh programmers that have a clear mind and a fresh attitude. If Linux is to make it to the desktop its developers need to take on a different attitude.
