Introduction...
In much of today's online news, we hear of how many people are migrating to GNU/Linux. What we don't seem to hear much of, is users going back to their old operating systems. The reason for this article is to say that I've done just that.
Yes, I've gone back. After three and a half years of trying to make GNU/Linux work on the desktop, I've decided that it's simply too hard for the average home user. Before I go into my reasons for going back, let me outline what I believe an 'average' home user is. Mr Joe Average is someone who wants to install their OS, boot it up, and it works. He wants to be able to upgrade his PC , and have the hardware work in a few short minutes. He wants to read email, browse the web, talk to his mates online, and play some games. Feel free to disagree with me, this is merely how I see myself. Note: I'm not referring to Grandma using Linux, or even my mum using it. I'm referring to average users who know a little about their computer.
Three and a half years; that's how long I've been trying to make Linux work on my desktop computer. Right about now, I'm sure that you are now screaming that I didn't try hard enough, or that I'm just plain stupid. Let me assure you that this is not the case. Stupid users don't doggedly stick at something for three and a half years, trying distribution after distribution in the hope of finding the holy grail of Linux desktops. They give up in less than a few hours of trying to (unsuccessfully) install RedHat Linux. Hear now my sad tale of why Linux isn't suitable for my desktop.
Some background...
The year is 1998. I've had my Windows '95 computer for around six months. Frustrated with the constant crashes, I desperately asked an online mate for help. Even though he was a windows user, he calmly suggested that I try something I'd never come across before...
âoeLinux, eh? Never heard of it.â
âoeOh, it's a free OS that you can download. Apparently it doesn't crash much. Just do an online search for it.â
Armed with this meagre knowledge, I set out on my quest for the ultimate stable operating system. I searched online, and found places where you could even buy copies of Linux! So, I left the comfort of my warm study, and returned forty minutes later with my first Linux boxed set â" RedHat Linux 5.2. After initially balking at the very basic installer (and few false starts), I had it up and running on my lovely AMD K6-233. I even got X working in no time at all. Then the system booted up for the first time.... and it was dead ugly. I had a very stable new OS, but I didn't even want to look at it. I was happy that I had several installed interfaces to choose from, but none of them appealed to me whatsoever. Wanting to download a nicer interface led me to my next problem.
I had absolutely no idea how to even get this nice, stable OS onto the internet! After reinstalling windows and RedHat in a dual-boot configuration, I got the help I needed by using Windows and USENET. Strangely enough, I can still remember the name of the long-suffering person who helped me get RedHat online, but that's another story. After looking around online, I discovered KDE. Only up to version one, it was the closest thing I had to a completely useable Linux system. I downloaded all the KDE packages for RedHat 5.2, only to discover another distro called Mandrake, that came with KDE preinstalled and configured. Back to my local distributor, and I was set.
Mandrake with KDE was exactly what I needed at that stage in my Linux using life, and I stuck with it for over a year and a half. Always seeking the 'perfect' desktop OS, I followed releases from version 5.3 all the way through to 7.0. Eventually I became dissatisfied with Mandrake, and briefly tried a number of other distros until I finally settled on Debian. I was impressed by the simple power, configurability, and the ease of upgrade that is apt-get. I felt good about being among the uber-elite Debian user community. Needless to say, I learned a lot about how to configure hardware under Linux during my time with Debian. I learned to sift through the old HOWTOs on Linux Doc until I found something suitable and accurate, I learned to utilize the power of USENET and IRC. Life was good.
Right now you must be wondering; âoeWhere is this leading? This guy seemed quite happy with Linux!â. True, I was. After a while, I decided I didn't want to have fine-grained control. I wanted something simple. I was getting tired of the 'stable' Debian release being so out of date, and the 'unstable' distribution being so... well... unstable. I got tired of having to recompile my kernel every time I got new hardware. I got tired of using command line to talk to my PC. It was time for a change. I had good experiences years ago with Mandrake, so I figured I'd try it again. As good as Mandrake 8.1 was, it wasn't what I was after. SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional (boxed set) was installed onto my PC instead.
I have to stop at this point, and say that SuSE Linux 8.0 (Pro) is the best Linux distribution that I've ever used. It has an easy installer, reasonable hardware support, and comes with the very good KDE 3.0. The box contains seven CDROMS, one DVD and three decent books that would help even the most inexperienced user get up and going. YaST2 is a decent graphical system configuration tool. When (not if) I go back to Linux, I'll definitely try SuSE again. However, there are quite a number of things that have improve (or change completely) before I'll consider going back. Read on for my brief list of things that must must get better before I'll switch back from the Microsoft camp.
Where GNU/Linux needs to improve...
X11
The X Window System is an awesomely powerful, network transparent graphical subsystem. It's perfectly suited to running applications from remote servers. However, this is NOT what a home user needs. My experience with X is that it's too big, bloated, slow and unstable to be any good to the home user. Most crashes that I ever experienced with Linux have been X's fault. My servers don't run X, and they never crash.
What home users need is something small and fast, so they can run local applications efficiently. I would like to see the X Window System dumped in favour of a hardware accelerated framebuffer, running something like directFB or Qtopia. Home users need a small, fast graphical subsystem, with built in 3d support. BeOS seemed to be on the right track before they went under.
Fonts are truly awful under X. Most distributions ship with appalling fonts, and there is no standard way to add additional (nicer) fonts to the system. Even after extra fonts have eventually been added, many applications (eg Abiword, Staroffice) refuse to use the new fonts anyway. Perhaps the framebuffer-based graphical subsystem I suggested could incorporate decent font support, and use a readable naming scheme as well.
Drivers
While having access to the latest version of the kernel is a good thing for developers, for home users it can be a nightmare. Got RedHat Linux 7.3? Perhaps you run SuSE 7.3 or Debian 2.2. You'll have to download a binary package specific to your distro. (I'm assuming that home users won't change their default kernel, but if they did, that binary package wouldn't even work!) Hardware manufacturers should be able to provide one single driver that works on all minor versions of a major kernel release. This way it would work will all current distros, instead of having to provide multiple binaries or source code. Hardware manufacturers don't want to give out the source, as this often gives away trade secrets about how their hardware is designed.
The solution seems to be to make binary drivers work on a variety of kernel versions. I'm not sure if this is even possible with the way the kernel is designed (I'm no kernel hacker), but it would go a long way toward making Linux more accessible to the home user. Even if the kernel needs to be redesigned to support this, then in my opinion, it should be done. Linux users are always clamouring for drivers... perhaps if the kernel had something like this, it might one day become a reality.
Hardware setup
While SuSE Linux 8.0 gave me some good experiences with hardware detection (such as automatic download of NVIDIA drivers), it also let me down as in this area.
The good: I recently borrowed a digital camera from a mate at work, to take photos of my case mod. Imagine how happy I was when I plugged it into my nearest USB port, and it was automatically configured (as a SCSI device) and mounted! SuSE even added it to my
The bad: Along came my new IDE CDRW drive. At AU$99, I couldn't pass up the purchase. Plugging it in gave me no joy. I was very disappointed that a device so common couldn't be detected and automatically configured under a modern operating system. The instructions on the SuSE support site said to add lines to lilo.conf and reboot. While this is a perfectly acceptable way to get hardware working for a geek familiar with *NIX, I believe that a home user shouldn't have to do more than plug it in. It's an IDE device, it's not that complicated!
The ugly: Once the hardware was finally working (as a pseudo-scsi drive), the next hurdle was to find decent graphical tools to burn and copy CDs. I finally settled on CDBakeOven, an above average KDE application. It burned CDs from data on the hard drive, but for some reason cdrecord (the command line backend) refused to allow me to copy a cd directly. Yes, it was installed SUID root. CD copying is such a basic function nowadays, why is it so hard to do under GNU/Linux?
Software distribution
I'll put this simply. I'm a home user, not a programmer. Why on earth should I have to compile the software I want to use? I know that having the source available is a good thing, but I'll say it again: I'm no programmer. I just want to install software and run it.
This leads to another point. Although having package databases (such as the rpm and deb systems use) is great, there should definitely be seperation between system packages and additionally installed software. There needs to be a standard installer and database for user-installed applications such as word processors, email clients and games, and it should be seperate from the rpm or deb databases used for system software such as lilo, init and cron. This will make it much easier for home users to know what applications they have installed on their PC, and to easily uninstall them if necessary, without knowing some arcane commands and weird package names.
Support
There is a huge wealth of knowledge among the thousands (millions?) of people that run GNU/Linux around the world. If you have a problem, odds are that someone out there can help you, often for free. This is one of the linux platform's greatest strengths. However, Linux users are also its greatest weakness. This may not apply to most of the community, but there is a very vocal minority that gives Linux a bad name. To every Linux user that has ever helped a newbie, I thank you. I have been helped by many a guru, often when I've been asking the simplest of questions. It's the remainder that are a problem.
I once heard a song by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie called Every OS Sucks, where Linux users were described as 'elitist nerdy shmucks'. Sadly this is true for much of the 'community'. Too many consider themselves better than the rest of the world because they run Linux. Can you believe that? It's just a computer operating system, but somehow they think that it makes them better than those people who run systems such as Microsoft Windows! Elitism drives people away, as does saying âoeRTFMâ or belittling people who choose a different distro from yourself.
'Nuff said about that.
So what now?
Well, I decided to go back to a Microsoft platform. Initially being paranoid after reading things about DRM and spyware, I bit the bullet and installed Microsoft Windows XP. Like every OS, it has good and bad points; most of which you can learn about from online reviewers. I'll just point out several things that make me want to keep using it instead of GNU/Linux.
Fast graphical subsystem: Windows has lighting quick graphics, both 2d and 3d. There's no denying it. When I move a window, it refreshes so fast that I don't miss X11 at all. While not quite as nice as some other operating systems, font support is outstanding compared to XFree86.
Drivers: Point and click to install (as a superuser, of course). Windows warns you if the driver isn't likely to work properly, and can roll back to working drivers if you deliberately choose to install one that hoses your system.
Hardware setup: My CDRW worked right away, without a hitch. I am able to drag and drop files from the Explorer file manager to the CDRW icon and they get added to the list of things to burn. A quick install of Nero Burning Rom, and I was able to make a backup copy of my game CDs. (I don't like taking originals to LANs where they can get destroyed or stolen).
Software distribution: All windows software comes in binaries, either with an installer or in a zip file. I hope to never compile an application ever again. Software designed for a different version of windows is 99% guaranteed to run, but if not, there is always 'compatibility mode'. One thing to note, however: Applications designed for single user versions of windows usually only run properly as a superuser, and this includes 3d games. I expect this to be rectified as the rest of the Windows world catches up to a multi-user environment.
I can't comment on the Windows using community yet. I've not yet had a problem that a simple point and click couldn't fix. However, I will say that my original concern with Windows '95 has been addressed in Windows XP. The stability is finally there.
Final Notes
In conclusion, I'd just like to make it known that I haven't completely abandoned the Linux community. My home server still runs Mandrake, and IPCop on my gateway/firewall. There is no way I'd ever put any form of Windows on my server, nor would I ever connect a Windows PC directly to the internet without a *NIX gateway in between. Microsoft has a history of poor security, so I protect myself the only way I know how; using Linux. I will continue to advocate the use of GNU/Linux in the server arena. This is where its strength lies at the moment.
Because of their history of spreading virii, I don't use the applications that Microsoft has provided with Windows XP. My wife and I use Mozilla for web browsing and email, OpenOffice.org for word processing, and Psi (Jabber client) for instant messaging. All of these are true multi-user win32 programs, and are perfectly interoperable with their Linux counterparts.
I expect that the Linux community will have something to say about this article; I welcome comments and constructive criticism. Flames will be automatically sent to the Windows equivalent of

I'm interesting to know the top 5 best open source CMS but I don't know where to post that question. So, someone can told me that ? (whith url) Thanks a lot !
:-(
-- Sorry for bad english. I'm working on it
when I say "what?"
Constipated Monkey Smegma
its true!
I awoke from my sleep to the sound of my radio that morning and stayed in bed to listen to the music. The sun shown through my window in a brilliant display of flickering blotchiness as the leaves on the huge maple outside attempted to eclipse what they could. Always the procrastinator, I laid in bed not wanting to get up for school. I stared at the posters that were scattered across my wall of women looking wanting and lustful. I didn't really have to go to the bathroom because I was up only an hour earlier to go. However, I still had a throbbing morning erection. I fondled myself through the sheets and covers thinking about this girl Lauren in my sixth period English class who always wore these weird hospital gown looking dresses. I must have lay there for about fifteen minutes when I heard my bedroom door begin to creek open. Finally my sister Jaime's head popped through the opening and looked in. Her long blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail and was a bit ragged. The bags under her eyes told me that she had not fully woken up yet herself, nor had she taken a shower yet.
"Wake up baby," she said in a tired but seductive voice.
"Leave me alone. I really don't want to go to school today," I retorted.
She flung the door open and rushed my bed. I quickly grabbed the blankets and pulled them up over my head. She lunged up onto the bed and straddled my hips and ripped the blankets away from my head and body.
"Come on honey. Get that sexy ass of yours out of bed."
"Jaime, just give me five more minutes," I exclaimed as I tried to maneuver my hips so she would not feel my early morning erection.
"No way! Just because mom isn't here doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. Besides, she left me in charge, so what ever I say goes."
She then leaned up on her knees, and I examined what she was wearing. It was a sexy pair of pink lace panties, with a loose nighty, which was also pink with dark pink lettering that read 'slut.' She then plopped her ass back down on my hips and pushed on my erection.
She grunted and said, "nice Chris."
"What?" I asked as she moved back and forth over my erection.
"You know what I am talking about."
She then let her body begin to fall on to mine. As she slowly came down, I peeked down her shirt and gazed at her large breasts. She continued to fall down on me and pressed her breasts against my naked chest. She snuggled her head between my cheek and shoulder. I lifted my arms and placed them around her back and hugged her tightly.
"I love you sweetie, but we really need to start getting ready because we have less than an hour until school starts," she whispered. "And besides," she continued, "If you don't get up, when mom gets back on Friday I will tell her that my perv of a brother likes to look down my shirt at my tits."
She then lifted her head and kissed my cheek and got up off of me. She stood on the floor and stretched her hands above her head. I sat up and stared at the way her body looked. Her strong slender legs, her tight ass, and her breasts, about a B cup all gave her the perfect body. She turned and took my hand in hers and pulled me out of bed. Although she tried to hide it, I saw her smile and snicker a little. I gazed down at my boxers and saw my erection sticking out from between the slit in them. I took my other hand and started to maneuver it back in, when she pulled me close and whispered in my ear, "It's okay. I understand that you're a perv."
Jaime then ran out of the room with a loud and accelerating laugh. I chased after her down the stairs and into the kitchen. There she stood on the opposite side of the island with a box of cereal bars in her hand pointing to them, and said, "when there is no time for breakfast, grab a full daily dose of what your body needs."
I laughed saying, "Don't you fucking wish."
She stared at me and said, "watch you language little boy, or you will get a spanking."
"Oh... My twin sister, who is only three minutes older than me is calling me little boy, and telling me she is going to spank me," I sneered.
Before I knew it, she was running straight at me. I turned around and ran as fast as I could down the hall and back up the stairs yelling laughingly, "did you forget to take your ridilin today?"
I ran into the bathroom and slammed the door behind me. Out of breath, I stood against the door and tried to hold it closed, but I couldn't do it. She pushed the door so hard that I fell forward on my knees. She came into the room, full of giggles and helped me up off the floor.
"Come on Chris, we have to get in the shower before it gets any later."
"Fine with me. I am going first."
"Yeah right," she laughed. "I am going first."
"Not a chance in hell Jaime."
"How about this. Why don't we just get in together? It will save us a lot of time."
"Huh?" I asked in awe.
"Yeah, come on. It will be fun," she said as she started turning on the water.
"Don't you think mom would be totally pissed?"
"Listen Chris, what she doesn't know won't hurt her, and besides, we can turn down the lights and just not face each other."
"Mmm, okay I guess."
"Good. Now turn off the light and turn around so I can get undressed," she said as she lifted her shirt exposing her tummy.
I turned around and hit the lights and the room became dark, except for the sunlight coming from underneath the door from the hallway. I felt kind of weird being in this situation. I mean, my sister and I used to take baths together up until we were like nine or so, but then we stopped. I just figured that this was just nothing and like when we were nine and innocent.
Behind me, Jamie was pulling her shirt over her head and threw it to the floor next to me. She then walked up behind me and gave me a hug with my back facing her. I could feel her breasts pressing up against my back and my erection that had subsided while running through out the house, started to regenerate itself. "I love you," she said as I felt her nails softly rake down my chest and move toward my penis which seemed to grow harder the closer she got.
Then, without notice, her hands grabbed a hold of the elastic band of my boxers, and she yanked them down. "Let's go Chico," she exclaimed as she slapped my ass and jumped into the shower.
"I am going to get you for that," I said standing there in the bathroom with my boxers around my ankles, and for a moment, the only noise was that of the water.
Jaime then threw the shower curtain half way open and threw her wet panties at me and hit me in the face. "And just what do you think it is that you are going to do?" she asked with a huge smile on her face.
I stepped out of my boxers, and ran into the shower. I grabbed Jaime playfully and softly shoved her against the shower wall, now pressing my body against hers. I could feel the head of my penis rub against her soft fur. She then pushed away from the wall with little force, and leaned against the shower wall directly away from the showerhead. Grabbing my hips, she shoved me up against her, but this time, my erect penis lay on her stomach. I felt her slowly shimmer downward. My penis slid up between her breasts, as she continued to slowly go down on her knees. I began to moan softly as I felt her cheek caress my penis as she kissed the front part of my hips. Slowly I bent down, allowing my penis to slide between her breasts, until I was kneeling between her legs. I could feel the hair from her pussy on the head of my penis.
For a moment we stared through the extremely dim light into each other's eyes, and started to lean toward each other. Softly our lips met as we slowly kissed. I felt her hand go down my chest and grab on to my penis. "Oh Jaime," I moaned as I placed my hands upon her breasts.
The emotions grew higher every moment we touched. Then Jaime said softly, "Chris, maybe you, or I, or maybe we shouldn't be in here together."
With her hand still clenching my throbbing hard on, and my hand on her tit I asked, "I can leave I guess, but part of me really doesn't want too."
"Don't..."
"Don't what Jaime?"
"Please... Don't... Leave..."
In my head I felt wrong for doing what I was about to do, but my soul told me it was right. I moved my right hand down her tummy and softly rubbed her pussy. "Do it Chris. Please do it," Jaime grunted as she started to stroke my penis. So I slid my middle finger between her lips and vigorously massaged her clitoris.
The faster I rubbed her clit, the more and louder she moaned. She stroked me faster and faster. There was a great tension now that I felt inside of me and inside of her. "Jaime, I am going to cum," I moaned.
"Already?"
"I'm sorry J, I just can't..." Cutting me off she shushed me. Jamie maneuvered her legs in between mine, and shimmered down until she was laying underneath me. She tugged at my cock and pulled me up until the head of my penis was an inch away from her breasts.
"Cum on me Chris. All over my breasts," she commanded with a soft voice as she continued to stroke my penis vigorously.
With that I decided to just let go of all the tension I had in my body. The first spurt shot onto her cheek, and the next crashed onto her nipple. The feelings, both physically and emotionally were so great that I screamed loudly as I clenched her outer thigh. While I was still cumming, she lifted her head and began to engulf my penis with her moist lips, swallowing every last drop that I had in me.
When I couldn't cum anymore, I sat down between her feet and she sat up so that we were staring at each other once again. "That was so great Chris," she said softly.
"God was it great, but now I feel bad."
"How come?" Jaime asked.
"Because I didn't make you..." I paused.
"It's okay. Wanna know something, I did this morning before I even woke you up so don't worry 'bout it."
I was in awe at what she just said to me. I mean, I never quite thought of Jaime pleasuring her self. It gave me warm fuzzies inside. "J, I have never done anything like this before with anyone."
"Neither have I. It felt so good to share that with you, with someone that I love so dearly. Chris, I am, well, I want to say that I am sorry, but I am not. I just feel so warm and so excitable. I know you are my brother, but you are also my best friend." With that she leaned forward and our lips met each others. I could taste the salty discharge that I had left in her mouth. I noticed her hand begin to caress her breast that I had came on. She brought her hand with the white discharge up to her mouth and licked it so that I would see what she was doing. "I love your taste," she said softly. "Would you like to taste me?"
"Yes I would."
With that she stood up and placed her one foot on the tub's rail and spread her legs apart in front of me. So I leaned forward and pushed my tongue into her warm pussy. I wasn't exactly sure what to do, so I started to push my tongue in and out of her. Jamie reached down and started to rub up and down on her clit and said, "Honey, lick me here." Moving her hand away, she grabbed a handful of my hair and began to moan. I pulled my head away and started to lick where she asked. She started moaning louder and louder, so I knew that what I was doing must be right, and with the more she moaned and moved her hips the more excited I started to get again.
With out notice she screamed out and her legs started to shake rapidly. I pulled my face away from her vagina, and she knelt down quickly so that the lips of her pussy straddled the base of my penis. She started to move her hips back and forth on my penis, just like earlier when I was in bed. Then she reached her hand down between her legs, and pushed my very erect penis so that it was standing straight out from my body. Jaime lifted herself up and placed the head of my penis on the entrance of her vagina.
She looked down at my face and we held each other's stare for a moment, and then she said, "God I love this. I want this really bad. You want me too?"
"Yes Jaime. Yes," I replied to her with a whisper.
Slowly she lowered herself onto me. I could not believe how good it felt. She came down onto me very slowly, but when I was halfway inside of her there was resistance. I pushed upward and felt a barrier. Jaime yelped with a high pitch and lifted herself back up and then slowly went back down again. Once again I felt the resistance, but my throbbing cock could no longer take it. I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her downward. It felt almost like something breaking as she yelped again only this time it was more of scream in pain. Small whimpers came after, but she picked herself back up and started bouncing up and down on me as my cock went in and out of her now extremely wet pussy.
The wetness and the warmth felt so overwhelming. I wanted to let go of the next wave of cum after the first second, but somehow in all the pleasure held it in. We were moaning so loudly that if anyone else were in the house they would have heard us.
I reached up and grabbed her breasts, and rubbed and massaged them as she continued to move her vagina up and down on my pulsating cock. Jaime lowered down and held her position for a moment as she leaned forward so her breasts were now laying on me. He legs straightened out, and she started kissing my face vigorously. Her hands took a hold of mine and maneuvered them so that I was now clenching on to her ass. I held on and started to push and pull her so that I was ramming her harder and harder with each push.
"Oh my God Chris, I feel like I am gonna explode," Jaime cried out.
I was surprised I was able to hold my orgasm and last as long as I had. I knew I was getting ready to cum just as Jaime said, "Release it Chris. Let go inside of me."
A little shocked and distraught, I said, "But Jai---."
"But nothing," she interrupted. "Just let it go Chris. Please."
I tried talking again, but Jaime was moaning and screaming so loudly that she couldn't hear or notice a damn thing. I tried slowing her down with my hands on her hips. However, she grabbed my hands and with hers on top held them on the floor of the tub and began to take over the control of the movements. The water was so warm as it dripped off of her body and onto mine. I was a little in dismay, but the feelings were so good that I didn't want to ruin it for either of us.
Jaime's body started to shake, and I could feel the inside of her vagina become extremely tight as it seemed to pulsate on my dick as she continued to move up and down on it. I was at my breaking point and I couldn't hold it any more. "Jaime, I am gonna..."
It was at that very point that I exploded. I was cumming so hard that I think it was getting Jaime off as much as it was me. I could feel each individual spurt launch upward into her. Wave after wave of emotion and pleasure creamed through my body, almost like being hit point blank by a dump truck.
As my cumming subsided, she slowed her pace. My penis was tingling, throbbing, and still having its own little contraction even though I was done cumming. She started to bite my lower lip, and then slowly stopped her movements. She glared into my eyes for a moment and then closed them as she lay her upon my chest. We were there motionless for minutes, not saying a word, just listening to the sound of the warm water flow out of the showerhead and all over us. My penis slowly became flaccid and started to slip out of her.
"Thank you Chris. That was so... So..." Jaime paused.
"That was beautiful," I finished for her.
"Yes. It was very much, but I don't..." she paused again, and then pulled her body off of mine.
"What Jaime?" I asked with concern, but she ignored me and got out of the shower. I heard the door open, then close, and then silence. It was a disturbing silence. I didn't know what to think. I got up of the floor of the shower and washed and rinsed as quickly as I could. Once finished I hurried out of the shower and threw a towel around my waist. As I opened the door I looked down the hallway, only to hear a few footsteps and the front door closing.
