Yes, there is no such thing as a "perfect" anything let alone a Linux Desktop! Part of its charm is that it is user definable (to some extent) to adapt to user needs. And, since Linux refers to the kernel vs a "polished" Apple Mac OSx - it is not the Linux kernel that needs polishing - it is the OS environment around it that needs polishing to compete with the "polished" Mac OSx! Not gonna happen - i.e. Apple's software was designed in an object oriented fashion - very nice design indeed! To make the same happen in the Linux world would take - uh, that ship has sailed! Be careful what you wish for! -- Tom
