SJVN Bio:

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols(sjvn@vna1.com) has been writing about technology and the business of technology since CP/M-80 was cutting-edge and 300bit/sec. was a fast Internet connection -- and we liked it! He's also been using Unix/Linux desktops since the big desktop interface discussion was Bourne vs. Korn shell instead of KDE vs. GNOME.

Presentation:
Major vendors like Dell are shipping desktop Linux; Linux-powered netbooks were, briefly, hotter than hot; and now Google is getting ready to unveil its Linux-based Chrome operating system. Is Linux finally ready to go prime-time on the desktop?
