> and I wish linux wasn't a horribly buggy hard to use desktop OS. Compared to the state of "Linux on the desktop" when I first used it, it is absolutely amazing -- no more manually configuring my NICs using jumpers, no more writing a PPP config file (and chat script!) by hand (from scratch), no more running out to buy a different video card because mine isn't supported. It's not perfect by any means but it is certainly usable by a majority of the population.
