  1. Re:It IS mainstream already by Charm · · Score: 2 · on Will Open Source Ever Become Mainstream?
    I would be GLAD to give several hundred dollars to any company that can make a consistent, user-friendly, non-MS OS for my x86 hardware (all of it, not just some). Is this possible? Apple - where are you?

    Linux will be ready for the desktop when Gnome or KDE drop dead (I can't wait) and some consistency settles in. Until then, I'll run BSD on my servers (the documentation is much better as a result of the consistency) and Windows on the desktop.

    Then you should look at
    Xandros Linux
    Which is based on debian/corel linux and is quite good

    Or
    Lindows

    Or
    Lycoris

    All of these are quite good Windows replacments and they will get better. Have a look at each and their prices/policies. Lindows has click'n'run which you have heard of. Lycoris I have used and is quite good.

    Check out Linuxwatch.org, we just popped up to help fill the gap left. A PHP-Nuke powered site, we allow users to post their own hardware reviews and Linux news. You won't find any Windows news on our site... well there's the end of a blatent plug :)
