Linux will never take off on a mass scale until this is resolved, its ridiculous how hard it is to install software, right now I have a ymp file I click it and it opens a text editor with pages of text.... great.
@Danster82 Linux is already on a massive scale within server rooms. The ymp files are used with OpenSUSE-what version are you running. It's very easy to install software.
@vwbond im just referring to mass scale for end users, which it seems is what Ubuntu and mint are trying to achieve. As soon as there is no need to ever type a command, use a terminal and so on then Ubuntu will take off.
I think what a developer doesnt understand is as soon as clicking a button doesnt produce the desired result the non technical user has no other recourse its a complete dead end.
Hey vwbond, it would be great if you showed everyone how to get the codecs you need to play DVD's in Fedora. I think a lot of people are unpleasantly surprised when they try to play a movie after installation.
I have tried many of the "mainstream" distros ; Mint, Fedora, DSL, Arch, Redhat, Berry, Debian, Knoppix, Sabayon, and a few others.
Due to many issues stemming from failed installs, lack of X support, or just learning curve/UI intuitiveness (lack of)...I found 'buntu family is best suited for my uses.
I love KDE, but found Kubuntu tends to be more resource heav, and has more issues with broken depencies...also Java and hardware acceleration are not "automatic" like ubuntu.
Hey Could you please tell me how to run .rpm files in linux after mounting.Please reply .Thanks, Subscribed.

You don't mount .rpm files you install them.
I install an .rpm file you use a command like: rpm -ivh rpmfilename.rpm

@Danster82 I can't really agree because sometimes you have to go into "regedit" or use "cmd" aka msdos prompt within Windows.

Opera is fine, but I just been a Firefox user myself.
The great thing about linux is the flexibility users have.
