OSDL and the Linux desktop: The road ahead
,----[ Quote ]
| What barriers do feel have changed for Linux desktop adoption?
|
| Cherry: The Lenovo introduction with SLED [SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop
| 10] runnng on it wasn't possible until we had reasonable power management
| on the laptop. That capability has now reached maturity level where
| Lenovo felt comfortable releasing it.
|
| Wireless is another area that has improved in the last four months.
| More chipsets are being supported. One of the big changes is that the
| Broadcom chipset is now being supported in the kernel. We still have a
| little firmware issue to work around but the capabilities are being put
| into the infrastructure so it's going to be much easier to support
| wireless and new wireless chipsets in the future. These are all good
| things that have enabled the desktop in the last four months.
