The Year of the Free Software Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Why is it that so many are focused on promoting the Linux kernel on the
| desktop as opposed to Free Software or Open Source Software on the desktop?
| Or, why does Linux have to be the kernel of the F/OSS desktop when there are
| now other available options which may be better suited to the task?

| Over Christmas break, we did a three-way computer upgrade: my sons got my
| parents’ old Mac, my parents got my old desktop, and I got a new desktop. Of
| course I’m still running Debian Sid (I just moved my old hard drive to the
| new computer), but the big news is that my parents asked me to migrate them
| to Linux. They are now happy users of Ubuntu 7.10 with Firefox, Thunderbird,
| Picasa, OpenOffice.org, Amarok, and gnome-games.
