Personal Stand on Linux Interface
By: Nerbie


Every year IT guys  are increasingly convinced that the powerful features of Linux as a server platform is really in the linux package. In terms of hosting and development I'm more on Linux stuff than windows. Although its hard to ignore that in my day to day work both in the office and at home I'm into windows 2000 and 98 respectively. Well, personally speaking windows interface is much better than Linux interface. This poor interface of Linux is frequently criticized specially by hard core MS windows users. I know some of you will agree and some won't. Its like asking the other big guys "Do you think Linux can improve its poor GUI very soon?" of course on every versions of Linux we've seen improvement of its desktop interface but it is still not good enough compare with its competitor.

I would like to name two Linux Environment. Linux has this GNOME - which stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment that has been around for quite sometime and they have been doing good with its GUI development for Linux. You can also visit their site at http://www.gnome.org/. KDE is also here for linux. hopefully, it will become another Linux up lifter to its desktop GUI. Lets just keep our finger crossed that these GNOME and KDE won't be like Microsoft and Sun that debates over with each other about their products.

If only Linux interface and its user friendliness are comparable with what MS windows is having right now, maybe we can see lots of typical users that are using Linux as an alternative to windows in their home PC. Hey, I'm not saying Linux cannot penetrate the market of Personal PC. Anyway, lets see what Linux can offer us after this new XP windows has been released.
