Interesting. I had exactly the opposite experience :-) But then I'm one of those over 30 used Unix before Linux Linux types. Honestly lots of things about Linux frustrate me. Lack of any sort of stable ABI.. OpenSource projects du-jour instead of real collaboration.
Don't get me wrong. I use Linux daily as my main platform. I can be productive in it. When I used the b66 nevada developers build though I was very impressed with the overall experience (this on an HP tablet pc). Lots of stuff worked. Most of the desktop experience is what I'd expect (some apps were a bit sluggish but the RT stuff has been discussed previously and it wasn't unuseable). The only thing I'd suggest was missing was a repo of "extras" I can go to when I want to install stuff not in the base distribution. So if I had to describe my experience vis. Indiana I'd say the problem that needs to be solved is a community that ports commonly used packages to the base distribution (for me at least nevada could be that distribution). Not unlike Fedora "Extras" was for Fedora Core.
