Linux is 'emerging'
Where is Linux going? This is a question a lot of forums hash over and argue about constantly.
Linux essentially started life as a DIY, ( Do It Yourself) kind of OS. Meaning mostly that, if you want to use it, you will play every role in using it. End user, technician, even quasi 'developer' (depending on how 'into it' you got.)
As distros have evolved though in the last two years or so, more focus has come onto the end user.
How much do distro developers really expect "Joe Desktop" to really know about using a Linux desktop?
Do we really want Linux adoption to extend to "Joe Desktop" who knows enough about using a computer to turn it on and surf the web, play some media and email or IM some buddies?
