Definitely worth reading, Stephen. Thanks for the link. As a common user without any computing course or refined computing skills, I couldn't agree more with the article. One has only to be _open_ to learn more. I am not sure about this, but I think what kind of prevents Linux from growing in desktop use is a hardware item: the modem. It's extremely unbelievably hard to find modems that are compatible to Linux. I would have 'converted' many friends who have computers to Linux, I would even install Linux in their computers, but when I ask them what kind or brand of modem they have, either they do not know it or it is an on-board modem that is Windows-dependent. Maybe this impression is not so bleak. But I'm sure you guys out there can enlighten me.
