Star Desktop Linux for the Home: How and Why?
Linked by John Munsch on Mon 30th Dec 2002 19:05 UTC
Linux Why do it? I am asked this question more often than I expected, even by existing Linux users who I expected to know as well as I the reasons for building a next-generation desktop Linux for the home user. So here are some of my reasons for thinking that we must spend the effort to create a better desktop on Linux than any existing version now has. Editor's Note: Due to a technical glitch, the first segment of this article was ommitted for some readers. If you missed the "why" section, before, you can read it now.

OSNews - we need threaded discussions!

This is an excellent article - well, it's a really bad article, but could provoke some excellent discussion, like the discussion (can't find the link) on newsforge.com which ended up becoming http://www.theopencd.org/

This discussion could come up with useful things, too, but the format of "reply to the whole thing" means that interesting threads cannot be built up independantly.

If OSNews.com had threading, it could become a crucial site - as is, it's an interesting place to see *nix vs. Windows idiocy.
