ONLamp: Real Desktop Linux, Parts I & II

From Part I:

“‘Is Linux ready for the desktop?’

“This question is really oversimplified, and thus the source of
a lot of confusion in the debate. I’d like to break it down into
six questions:

  • “Is Linux managable to install as an enterprise desktop
    system?
  • “Is Linux managable to install as a home user desktop
    system?
  • “Is Linux usable as an enterprise desktop system?
  • “Is Linux usable as a home user desktop system?
  • “Is Open Source software usable as an enterprise productivity
    suite?
  • “Is Open Source software usable for typical home user
    applications…?”
