Linux has gained enormous ground in the server market, where ease of use takes a back seat to stability. Administrators, many of whom are geeks to the core, usually have no problem working in command line, writing up PERL scripts, and fighting package dependencies. While this is great for admins, have Linux developers and distributors ignored the desktop user?
Michael Robertson, CEO and Founder of Linspire, wants to make Linux more pleasing for the average user, largely by sprucing up the user interface and making programs easier to install. At the third annual Desktop Summit in Del Mar California, he showed off the Linspire 5.0 Linux distribution and MP3Beamer, a music appliance.
