The promise of Desktop Linux (DL) has been long coming. It's made significant progress since the mid-90s when GNOME and KDE came out, giving Linux users a somewhat modern desktop to work upon. However, it's been 7 years and DL hasn't progressed much at all since then. Today, DL is still nothing more than a UNIX-clone with a task bar, a start menu, and a desktop with some icons on it. But why has DL evolved at such a glacial pace?

quit saying linux sucks.. linux fucking rules it's the FREE SOFTWARE on top of linux that SUCKS the kernel is pretty damn standarde, make all the software on top play nice, then get the kernel to add stuff. the only thing wrong with the linux kernel itself is that supermount has to be patched onto it.
