It is a sad day for Linux, and Red Hat in particular. Everyone knows that operating systems/applications and drivers
are a chicken-and-egg process. The more people there are using Linux, the more apps and drivers will become available.
Ans the more apps and drivers there are, the more people will use Linux. I have aggreed with everything RH has done up
until this point. I really do believe that this is the biggest mistake RH has EVER made. Telling people to stay with
Micros**t Virusware and not to switch to Linux because of the current lack of apps and drivers that the home user is
expecting is not going to increase the availability of those apps and drivers that home users need. As a famous
mistical disembodied voice in the movie "Field of Dreams" once said, "If you build it, shey will come." So, we must
keep building Linux for the desktop. We must also, however, get more people using it, so that more people will help
build it.
