What I really miss in Open Source? What does it lack?


Open Source offers almost everything we need.
Actually, much more than we need:

How should I choose my choices?

The first choice I make is the distribution. The advantage of using a distribution is that most choices have already been made for you by a team of fairly competent linux users, with default system settings and a series of preconfigured packages. Take MTA's, for example. Redhat uses sendmail, Mandrake's default is postfix, Debian tends to Exim. The more distributions you try, the more you learn to use the different popular alternatives.

Other choices are also distribution dependent, like the eternal Gnome/KDE dilemma. In Mandrake 9.0 I prefer KDE. In Redhat 8.0 Gnome works better for me.

<snip long rant on choices>

The real need is an objective site that will scan an area by area, and
in each area will compare the different choices. Readers will be able
to note (like in Slashdot). Maybe even with notes rating like Slashdot
(and maybe even using Slashdot's engine, which is Open Source too).

This site may be called "ReligiousWars.something", and will enjoy a
high rating from its first day (because people CARE about religious
wars). So contrary to typical Dot.Com initiatives, this one has great
chances to succeed.

Maybe. Personally, I think religious wars are boring. Let people believe what they may. I rather reach my own conclusions.

Cheers,

Henry
