When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

Linux will be there when enough people are using it for 3rd party hardware and software vendors to support it to the same level as windows or even Mac are supported... This will probably mean a tool or service will have to be implimented to deal with incompatablities between Linux distros and various hardware platforms (Linux runs on everything from Apples iPod to SGI's Altix 3000 - a 64 processor Itanium2 number cruncher)
If linux gets a strong position in the market place the ubiquity of the Intel architecture could well be challenged.
I general Linux could boot a lot faster - XP has really raised the bar on this one. Hardware configuration and auto-detection is improving at a rapid rate but still has a ways to go.
