Says who, and why? You assume Linux is meant to cater to one market or another. But Linux _must_ do absoluetly nothing for anybody, anytime. You only get a say if you're prepared to do something to help besides complain and point out shortcomings. Whose competing with OS/X anyway? I don't see any Red Hat products aimed at any of the same people OS/X is aimed at. Let alone Fedora, which isn't targeted at joe-handicam-consumer by a long shot. Can things get better and move in a more end-user friendly direction? Sure. Do we have to get their tomorrow or even soon? Nope. You're not shedding new light on these issues. Everything you've mentioned is well known. Pointing out well known shortcomings may be therapeutic for yourself, but isn't good for much else. Sean
