1 Hi all
2
3 A discussion on the staff blogs over at OSNews about the Linux desktop
4 got me thinking. Thom and Eugenia seem to think that "the linux
5 desktop peaked in 2001-2004", but I don't remember the hype around
6 Ubuntu starting till well after that. Their argument seemed to be that
7 because GNOME is running into problems and because KDE is behind
8 schedule, the Linux desktop is dead.
