After an intensive hands-on Linux project lasting several months, I was able to provide my client with a pertinent answer to this question." I like the answer. ;-)" It's good that he covers the pitfalls he encountered; opportunities for improvement.

It's not worth making anything into a desktop operating system these days. How many stories about desktop computers appeared on the internet this year? None. How many stories about PDA's and dedicated applicances? About 1,000,000,000.
