    Ici : http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/forum/2003-March/000168.html Plus loin il y a aussi un autre post intéressant : http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/forum/2003-March/000181.html The biggest roadblock to Linux being deployed on the desktop to displace Microsoft software is the same thing it always has been - too MUCH choice. Too many distributions, too many desktops, etc, etc. IT people don't want it. Real, consumer end-users don't want it. I think it is hillarious to see the OS-wars of old (e.g. a million Unix vendors -> OSF vs Unix International; a bunch of desktop-like things -> Motif vs Open Look -> CDE "unification") repeat itself yet again in the form of myriad distributions and GNOME vs KDE. I'm an OLD-time UNIX guy (started in 1981), and I moved to the Windows world years ago because I saw this cycle repeating itself. The only successful desktop UNIX implementation os OS.X, which, BTW, is pretty closed without a lot of choice. Personne ne va être d'accord, mais bon... :-)
