| 2004 Won't Be the Year of the Linux Desktop |
|---|
I use a Linux desktop every day. Specifically, I run SuSE Linux Professional 9.0 with KDE 3.1.4. On top of that, I use Mozilla 1.5 for my Web browsing, OpenOffice 1.1 for my word processing and spreadsheets, and Gaim 0.74 for my instant messaging needs. For those times I need a Windows program, usually PhotoShop and Quicken, I use NeTraverse's Win4Lin to run them on a Windows 98SE virtual machine.
For me, it works great. But I know Linux like the back of my hand. So do most people who use Linux desktops today. For most corporate knowledge workers, though, the Linux desktop still isn't good enough.
