yeah but the true is that a linux desktop is almost useless for a normal person
i remember first time i used ubuntu. i started a openoffice presentation on the 4th slide the system was already unusable. And wet back to windows, even google docs was better for the job. of course latex is cool, vim, dwm, but no one out of the professional field of computer sience have the time or patience to learn this unix philosophy.. -- Guilherme Lino
