It is interesting now. If you do a search for Linux and “not ready for prime time” you get a few people (presumably Linux fans) who will even question the term “prime time.” Rather than address valid concerns in the Linux community (by non-Linux users), they question what does “ready for prime time actually mean?”

Most of the features are great and I think it is ready for your desktop. But there are still some very rough edges.

I’m a Fedora fan, and I’m impressed with each new release, but in the end, its just nowhere near ready. You have to do far too much research and under the hood work to get it to do everything you want it to do, and in the end, not everyone writes drivers for Linux, and the community doesn’t write drivers for everything.

The recession is helping to drive home the fact that open source is enterprise-ready in a lot of areas. Flexible pricing and mature products make the once-exotic software ready for prime time.

I’ve been getting told that my recent review of KDE 4 wasn’t fair because KDE 4 isn’t really ready for prime time. My response: “When is any program, especially an open-source program, ready?”

Now Linux is the easiest of all operating systems to use, and yet anguish abounds in the land. Too hard! Too hard! Make it easier! What the heck happened?

The jury is out on whether smaller shops can actually work with open source operating systems.

SDL Tutorials are hosting a game programming competition to create an old school style of shoot'em'up using SDL. I thought I would enter, and write up a tutorial series will show you how to create a shoot'em'up of your own from scratch using SDL and C++.

Tired of Windows 7 Starter Edition? Ready to boot XP off the netbook? Linux runs particularly well on Netbooks, but it might be hard to choose which flavor is best for you right now.
