Maybe that's beacuse You havn't any applications for your Linux? Almost
no commercial vendors develops for it. This is true for most both low-end
desktop apps and most high-end Unix apps. Linux is maybe fun to toy with
for some people intersted in computers, but it's not a viable option in
the real computer market. And it looks like it will never be more than
that either... no matter how much YOU like it.
