The need for a Multimedia DistributionThe need for a Multimedia DistributionPosted Mar 7, 2003 0:23 UTC (Fri) by mmarq (guest, #2332)In reply to: The need for a Multimedia Distribution by NAR Parent article: The State of Multimedia Linux >If Linux is going to make any kind of dent in Microsoft's share on the desktop, we'll definitely need multimedia applications that can compete with the commercial counterparts for Windows and the Mac OS<. IMHO, if Linux dosent make a significant dent on the desktop, then it 'll gonna be dead on the desktop after a very few years, and dead as a worldwide movement and in tight control of giants like IBM or HP. I think even Linus would eventually "get off" if he only receives patches from IBM or HP boys and the like, or if the only machines that Linux would run where IBM or HP servers. "If Linux is dead on the desktop, then is dead period"... it's a Linus statement! I dont know if it takes a "killer-app" or if its only a matter of drivers or toolkits, but i think its always of good taste to warn (almost a moral imperative) all developers, users and followers. WE NEED DESKTOP
