One thing U would love to CHANGE in LINUX?

Poor phone support (Nokia PC Suite and the likes..)

I support @Kalplik + no option of fast printing and no adsl/USB Internet support.

General drivers support. There are so many things that still don't work out of the box with various distros and you have to search and struggle before they work.

However, I really cannot stop at 1
I also need standardisation among distros and ease of installtion of softwares.

BT drivers shd be available in linux...
so i can access my net thru it.....

Become more like a mac

Software installation/uninstallation routines need to be reworked.I don't want the .rpms & the .debs.

Standardization, as someone mentioned earlier, is also a must.

Drivers Drivers Drivers Drivers Drivers Drivers.

H/W manufacturers developing drivers as they do for windows...

Yeah man, drivers are desparately needed. My Techcom webcam & my HP scanjet 2400 are pretty much useless in Linux right now. Have to use Windows just for these two things

BT Drivers are available! Search for gnome-bluetooth and kde-bluetooth.

One more thing i want: full NTFS support.

^^^
ntfs will be done in a near future lots of projects are going on in this direction.

the main thing linux should do is provide drivers so hardware so that they may work not like my pctel modem which has no drivers on the whole world wide web

Installing programs is difficult for beginers.
Need more built in user friendly documentation for users from win bgrd

make a law like for selling ur company's hardware in Hindusthan,you need to have linux support/drivers for ur product.also like in kerala,teach in schools GNU/Linux and Open SOurce in other states also...

installation of appli shud b easy as windows......

1.) Packages name should be more user friendly, not like kermit, synaptic, etc (even I can't pronounce many of them ).
2.) Setups should also be user friendly, like Windows just NEXT, NEXT & NEXT...

@VG - they can make it simple but then they might violate the copyrights of other companies that use it!

@vishal: next -> next??
how about wandering frame after frame, or type a simple command and get things done??

@Venom: Copyright?? WOW Does M$ have a patent for it?? WOW i'd support this patent alone!! Dont let it to others, World is much better without it!

Many of the grievances i hear about installing applications is that most of u are confused may be by the differences in packaging etc, The only thing that you guys shud know is Where to look for information and packages.

hmmm... I don't think there is any patent involved here. All OSs have wizards.

1 . USB 2.0 "High Speed" support .

2 . NTFS write support ...

Win Modems support....
Thts all I want!

Dependency hells.......

These are the things that need to change in Linux

* Easy of Use, more easier than Windows O.S
* Unified Linux , this should be a standard , so that a application from one distro
can be installed in another distro without any problems.
* Hardware vendors must also include Linux drivers ( both 'rpm' & 'deb' formats)
with Windows drivers in the CD; this will happen when Linux is on equal footing with Windows
* User-friendly Documentation about the usage, tips, etc.,
* Configuration should be done using GUI Wizards, not tweaking the System files!!

And most of all you guys must learn Unix, it's very powerful & easy once you
master the command-line (Terminal Window) interface as @Satish pointed out!!
You can't do away with dependency @Vinayasurya, tell me can you install PhotoShop CS
in Windows 98?? Like that Linux O.S package need certain packages to be installed
before it can be installed.

application installation and un-installation are a pain in da @ss... er.. neck
plus. u cant customise it as winxp.. what i mean 2 say is dat with the help of resource hacker u can even remove the word 'windows' from each and evry component of the os.. (though not legal)... i know u can also do that in linux.. but its not dat easy!!!

P.S. can any one help me with... well how to make a distro, rather it would be more appropriate to say how to recompile a distro?
i mean how to remove those packages which i dun need and add what i need... change the mane of the distro.. change the logos and remaster the distro and make a live cd out of it.
it should have the 'install to harddisk option!... can any one help me with this?

@ akuCRACKER
Please don't use such a short cut language to express ur views....

Hey what about tgz and source. Why leave out slackware, gentoo and users of such distros .

@j we can install tar.gz in all distros na.... so y not them

Linux should be more user friendly and with enhanced help as that is avalable in winxp. And yeah installation must be easier.

Aditya

though its distro dependent, still, i would still insist that Linux could do with a better organization of the desktop...especially the taskbar--it really helps when u r new to something.

OK Tech_your_future,
* tgz & source should also be included in the driver CD accompanying the hardware. Sorry I just forgot. I was thinking about the top 4 distros - Ubuntu, Suse,
Fedora, Mandriva.
