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).

All these reviews of the different linux distributions are interesting but come to the same conclusion. Linux is not ready for the desktop or linux is not ready for Joe {Jane} User.
This is close, but not dead on. I would say we can clearly see that linux is not close enough to windows for people who aren't willing to learn a new OS to easily switch. Is this a problem? Maybe, maybe not. I don't really see a point in making any linux software more windows-esque. KDE is familiar enough for most windows users to get the hang of. That is where they will be doing most of their work anyways.
I mean, if you want linux to be windows xp... why not use windows xp?
