Comment on Why Linux will never make it by Willem Franssen

I think you hit the right point. I’m just an average pc user. I use Linux (OpenSUSE) now for a couple of years with some intervals. Private and in my small business. Next to Windows. I know rather well how both operating systems work. And Linux is a good one. The main distributions are user friendly. But what is Linux? It is nothing but a kernel distributed with additional desktop environments and applications depending on the distribution of your choice. Linux in itself is no brand and the sponsors behind the main distributions are not focusing at the main stream pc consumermarket in the first place. And when they try they’re laying behind. Example: the lack of appropriate distribitions for netbooks. Yes, there are some at last, but too late. Next one: different sponsors have different strategies in regard to cloud computing. Besides this there is the problem of the existence of more than hundred different Linux-distributions. I consider this as a waste of time and effort of all those good willing communities. When there is no clear brand and no clear and unified policy there is no clear case for marketing and promotion. I support open source and open standards. But the average pc users don’t mind about these things. They only want an os and apps that just work. They’re not interested wether Linux might be better than Windows or not, because they never heard of Linux. That has less to do with their reluctancy, rather than with the lack of appropriate promotion and marketing. Again: when there is no brand, there is no marketing. Linux-communities, apps-communities, Gnome- and KDE-communities should understand this at last. My last point: Linux-communities, get rid of the last remaining command line apps! Average pc users don’t appreciate the command line. They’re living in de 21st century and aren’t stuck in the DOS-era!

Hi Randy

I am the manager for the optical department of Dorsey Metrology. Sorry you are having problems with your mirror.
Sometimes harsh environments or improper or too much cleaning leads to deterioration of the mirror surface. We have a large selection of first surface mirrors that we use in our comparators. If you give me the dimensions we might be able to match something up. I am not familiar with the mounting of OGP mirrors however if the size matches I see no reason why it shouldn’t work.

If you can leave some contact info I can get an engineer to contact you directly and answer more details.

I have a QL-30 manufactured by OGP. The main mirror is spotting badly (coating separating). Do you sell this mirror or do you know where I might get this recoated?

Thanks

Wearing gloves when changing quartz projection bulbs also prevents the’burning’ of fingerprints onto the surface of the bulb.
