Enduring Roadblocks to Linux Acceptance
Linux has some fundamental problems that will endure, because they come from the nature of the beast. These are freedom-loving developers, competing technologies, and poor standardization.

The dimensions of Linux: a possible new way of choosing a distro
One of the commonest questions on this forum is "Which Linux distribution should I use?". The usual answer - "The one you like best." - is not very informative for a total novice. Distrowatch provides a very useful service in this regard, but it occurs to me that Liinux distributions could be mappied along a variety of quasi-spatial "dimensions", providing a kind of conceptual space through which you could navigate to find the distribution that best matched your own preferences and needs, perhaps one you had not previously heard of.
