Linux "Over the years, I've had a number of people asking me what I believe the problem was with further migration over to Linux by the public at large. To be frank, I don't believe that there is a simple answer to this. To me, there are a number of factors that play a role in keeping Linux out of the mainstream limelight" writes Matt Hartley in his opinion piece.

i think its a old linux saying that goes:

linux is user friendly, its just picky about its friends...

somtimes i just wish people would stop worrying about having to learn and just learn. im tired of doing the spyware sweep and antiviral update ever so often because they cant take 5 min to learn what the dialogs are about...
