-I spend this summer trying to get Ubuntu work on an iMac and was
rather
astonished by the discovery that it had trouble with something simple
like video-card (ATI) drivers. In the end I gave up... I've got
more om my
mind than figuring out these kind of things. As long these
elementary problems
aren't addressed, Linux won't make onto the desktop. As an OS it
might be
suited for servers, but that's where it will probably stay.
That one is a tough one. Its not for lack of people trying.
Companies like ATI and NVidia refuse to release the docs to the
developers, so they have to reverse engineer things.
