Novell Headed To Linux Enterprise Desktop In Asia
Bill Kendrick writes "Novell's Asia-Pacific division is working on Linux desktop trials in Hong Kong and Malaysia, with the expectation that Linux's adoption on enterprise desktops will continue to grow. They expect many more companies to start embracing it within the next 12 months." A spokesperson from Novell comments: "I don't see it as a watershed where everybody's running Linux desktops, but you'll start to see the emergence of some examples of companies that have embraced Linux and are going down that path."

Whoever modded me down is a fanboy who cannot stand the facts. I have good knowledge of Asian markets, but obviously the facts do not stand up to uour Grand Idea of Linux Future, and instead of dealing with the reality you attempt to deny it.
While linux may be great with in a server or backend environment, it still is not ready for the desktop in my opinion. I just recently installed Mandrake 9.2 on a laptop of mine. I actually managed to get my PCMCIA wireless card to work, but not without some hassles at first. The first thing I decided to do after getting on the net was to update my system. This turned out to be a mistake, as my KDE desktop got all screwed up. Most of the links didn't work and the "start" menu was completely useless. I really don't know what happened, and I had no idea how to fix it, so I decided to install again and just not apply that patch. Now, if this had happened to a system that I had been using for some time, I would have been utterly annoyed by losing a large part of the functionality of my desktop. I also installed XMMS. I got this to work after I had to fight some driver settings, but the RPM I used never even added it to the start menu. I think that if you use a RPM that comes off of the install disk, this should definetly be an included feature. Maybe it was just the distro I was using, but it doesn't seem like it was feature common to other distros that I have tried either.
In short, it felt like I was fighting with the system the entire time just to get some trivial things to work. Linux may be a great, stable, and free kernel, but the rest of the things built on top of it, the things that really matter to the user, still seem to fall short in areas. Right now, I rather just install Windows and know that everything will work. I rather deal with security patches and keeping my antivirus up-to-date than deal with config files in an operating system that I don't know too well.

Fucking morons.
It's you who should be sitting in Guantanamo getting re-educated and punished for stupidity!
I and my lover have both noticed beautiful improvements in our relationship.He is much older, and doesn't have the s e x u a l strength he used to. I got something very good for him, called L I N U X. This thing is nothing but a miracle. V l A G R A is a joke compared to this.We would go for an entire weekend and both be fulfilled. Let me show you what this fuss is about. L!nk.
Also the repetitive "ME SO HELPFUL! ME SO HELPFUL!" being yelled by the animated chopsticks didn't go over well either.

Hey man, don't blame me -- I have mod points right now and I posted instead.
