Lately, there has been a "Why linux isn't ready for the desktop" article every 3 days. Most of the time, these articles originate from a lack of understanding or acceptance of the open source system. I'd like to try to address some of the common arguments against linux here, and try to help people understand why linux probably won't be on your desktop for a while.

We've been running RH8 and 9 on our desktops for over a year. There is NOTHING missing from Linux in these distros. Sure, they could be better and I'm sure that the upcoming distros with KDE 3.2, kernel 2.6, the latest Open Office, etc are going to absolutely rule, but the RH8 and 9 distros are available NOW and work EXTREMELY WELL. ASAICT, the only people still talking about when Linux on the desktop is going to happen are those that haven't tried it.
