Agreed Roddy - the most compelling reason most people don't want Linux on their desktop is the total lack of popular (3rd party) GAME support. Almost everything else is out there: email apps, web browsers, graphics tools, etc...even XFree can be made somewhat user friendly (e.g. KDE). Linux really shines on the back end, however. We deployed almost 100% RedHat Linux for back end processing (Internet/eCommerce) in our company - some 20+ SMP servers and all have been incredibly reliable. Unfortunately, most established IS managers in large corporations will never consider Linux until there is an accountability chain (read service contract) available for it. They want someone to be a scape-goat if something goes wrong. RedHat could easily be this corporate interface. Dell has decided to go with RedHat and so far seems to be having a good go with it: dell.com dell.com dell.com dell.com Anyway, IMHO, open source is the wave of the future...RedHat is very well poised to take the lead. -C
