Yes it may be seduced in time, it is being seduced, but right now this
minute it isnt there.

You can go to a reaosnably cluely hardware supplier(but not a specialist
linux supplier) right now and say I want a doodad widget for my pc, and
chances are even if you linux distribution supports it, you will ahve to
go off and downlaod a later versionof the source to gtet the most out of
it.
Which is fine.
For enthusisasts. But nto all that usefull for peopel who dont really wnat
to be bothered with that stuff. Ie peopel who get a kick out of using
compurter, not making them work.
