What can't Linux do?
8 comments- IT TOPICS:Linux
My good friend Dee-Ann LeBlanc is looking for suggestions as to what we can't do in Linux. Mostly of course this will be an opportunity to show that there isn't much we can't do; in truth there isn't. I think recent posts by myself, and Sharon Machlis have proved that Linux os not the hugely specialized OS that it is sometimes portrayed as. That's not to say, of course, that everything is easy. Ubuntu makes life very easy, as does Xandros, and books like Rickford Grant's Linux Made Easy demonstrate just how much we can do (read my review and interview for more information). Dee-Ann's query is therefore more to do with trying to determine the gaps so we can focus our energies, rather than trying to level any sort of criticism at our favourite OS. The one comment on that blog post is that there isn't much we can't do; but there are things that difficult. Again, Sharon pointed this out last week with her printer difficulties and there are some desktop things (scanning, for example) which are still less than straightforward for the average user. If you've got anything to add, please let me know by leaving a comment here. Alternatively, go visit Dee-Ann's post and let her know directly.
