article: "How Linux is getting very close to mass adoption"

[Harold]

I have been using Dapper for over a month now. It has caused me 
absolutely no grief. I maintain a couple of websites and manipulate 
graphics and audio files and have had no problems.

For some reason, I converted back to Mandriva several months ago. Using 
the same audio tools, I ended up having to reinstall Ubuntu and rework 
audio files so they would be configured the way I needed so dial-up 
people could access them.


I do have one problem, now that I think about it. I am working along and 
my mouse and keyboard (logitech wireless) just stops working for one to 
three minutes, forcing me to take a break. I have not been able to find 
a configuration that would make it stop that, but I have had worse 
experiences with Windows: viruses, blue screens, loosing data, setups 
changing on boot-up, hard-drive management, . . . should I go on???

Thanks for the work you all do.

Harold
