But *why* are we interested for linux to become mainstream?
The answer is that if linux has a respectable percentage of total users we can expect hardware companies to release drivers for their hardware.
Apart from that, it's better for linux to remain a system for the few. Popular distributions already suffer most windows crap (lousy software, pseudo-user-friendly scripts which do things on the system we don't know about, automatic updates, etc).
I like LFS, Gentoo and slackware.
But we already have that. It's called BannerAddRemover. If you also disable java/javascript, automatic redirection, popups and asp, you are able to get straight to the interesting links.
has a O(n*log(n)^2) swapper. Nobody has ever though of this before. It will take at least linux 2.9.0 to implement that. The BSD developers are geniouses. This is why the 10 most stable servers of the internet (accoring to netcraft survey), run FreeBSD. All the other OSes crash while FreeBSD goes on.
I saw this here, on slashdot the other day, and I thought I'd let you know. Consistency of information.

some god damn kiddie does the same thing it took you 4 years to do, in two months and gives it aways for free. Nope. Hobbists always win.
