But Linus himself has stated very recently (at Australia) that "while Linux is well deep into the server space and market, the home desktop will take 5 to 10 years to be equally competitive with other solutions."

[since I was quoting I couldn't change that to GNU/Linux]

Linus may be right. `Linux' might not be ready for the desktop.

But the GNU/Linux operating system is. And people like my mother and sister (I have no brothers) do use it.

Next time anybody tells you that `Linux' is not ready for desk top, ask him to use GNOME, which is part of the GNU project, or KDE, another equally free and user friendly desktop.
