This is another great news after the adoption of the Linux standard base last month. If this trend continues, Linux will definitely pose a serious challenge to the mighty Windows on the desktop.

The same should be done with propeitery codecs like MP3, MPEG, etc. Will make the life of Desktop Linux users a lot easier.

Man these Linux guys should really do something about program installation/uninstallation system in Linux. Its really bad if you ask me. There should be some standard, easy way of installing/uninstalling propgrams in Linux. The rpm -i or the ./configures just don't cut it.
