Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-used-to-think-we-just-needed-a-good-mail-app dept.

Linux on the desktop still hasn't reached that stage and has to be compatible with multimedia applications like iTunes and iPod if it has to beat Microsoft's Windows dominance on the desktop. Open source gurus at LinuxWorld discuss solutions to make Linux more consumer-friendly."
