Linux So, you are not sure what makes a Linux distribution a good desktop Linux but you know it when you see it, right? Perhaps but perhaps not. So, what does it take to be a good desktop Linux distribution?

You evaluate a Linux desktop's readiness based on its ability to... mount ntfs drives and browse Samba networks? Hello, a few lines in /etc/fstab can do that for you on _any_ Linux distro today. Is this guy serious?

Oh wait, I'm sorry. The actual criterion is that it must include the "best web browser on the market..." namely, "Konqueror."? What the hell?

Where does OSNews find some of this stuff? Mozillaquest?
