I can't resist.
As for what RedHat is or has been attempting I can say that regardless, of
motives many, in general I mean, feel Linux-Mandrake, SUSE, etc are better
desktop compared to RedHat who has pretty much just made a presents, but
hardly seems to be promoting themselves as such.

Sometimes the answer is the most obvious one. Generally, speaking people
usually don't see or ignore the obvious.
It took me a while before figuring that out. I won't say how long since I am

I agree with most of Dvorak's comments. I am concerned that if Linux were to
follow such a direction it would lose that personality that attracts me to
using and playing with it. I use XP too, but it is like picking up a shovel,

Every Linux distro I have and used has been bought. Primarily because
downloading any of them is not feasible with my dial up connection and the
users who want to go online. If I had a high speed connection then, honestly

That is the exact set up in my own home. Windows is the mainstream since
