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?

It is SOOOOO terribly boring.
Is linux ready for the desktop?
Yeah, sure it is if it is configured correctly but so what?
How many people are actually going to bother going out and installing a brand new operating system?
Not many.
Gosh I have been using linux as my main desktop since 1997.
That was when I used Wingz spreadhseet, WordPerfect 8.0 word processor, WindowMaker as my window manager, FSviewer as my file manager, Postillion for my email, I think I used kppp to get online, and used neXt themes for gftp and gimp and other apps.
Now that I think about it I had a pretty uniform look and feel and it was a hella fast.
