uh what is "the desktop"?
Can we (who are supposed to be computer literate) stop abusing this term
(which is nothing more than marketing lingo) and be a little more
specific?
That said, GNU/Linux runs perfectly on my desktops (all of them) as well
as my servers.
So the question really is whether or not the OS is ready for YOUR
desktop. This is a question only you can answer.

"Yes, Your Honor. Now, where we are so far, in at least my
line of reasoning, is I want to walk the Court through enough of our
complaint to help the Court understand that IBM clearly did contribute a
lot of the Unix-related information into Linux. We just don't know what
it is."
