How the mighty have fallen. Linux, once the king amongst all other OS's, is now back amongst the peasants. Or is it? Kit's seemingly wise remarks on the stability of the throne have kept it in power. But is there some trickery behind this? Perhaps Kit is too afraid to acknowledge that his wisdom has failed the people of his blog, for with that knowledge, they might leave it forever. Only time will tell.

I'm nothing close to knowledgeable (nor am I interested, for that matter) when it comes to Linux, but in the places where it crops up I've noticed that the great majority of its proponents are really *aggressive* supporters, like Mac users with more technical experience and better debating skills. Take the iPodLinux project (http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page), for example. When I first heard about it from a friend, it was billed as some sort of noble endeavor that would (shock, how genius) do such things as put games and applications on your MP3 player. But if you try and interpret the directions on how to get it up and running, it's very easy to get lost in the gobbledeygook until you're back to not caring. As I said, maybe I'm just being ignorant here, but Linux in all my run-ins with it has never really struck a positive chord.

I am testing something

Kit, since the PS3 and Wii are launching at the end of the week, I'd be really curious to know about your view on the whole thing. Plus, it would make for a good entry. Just a suggestion!
