The newest Mandrake release has really polished Linux as a desktop and has made installation far easier and less painfull than loading a machine with Windows. But for some reason a lot of the open source control projects seem to have lost their steam in the last year or so. Links are broken, webpages go unmaintained. What happened?
Admittedly, I'm more of an electrician than a software developer. But I have been a Linux advocate and home user for a number of years now. But my employers have had no interest in using it commercially. Potential for troubleshooting has always been an argument against Linux. That, and the lack of at least one or two polished looking products out there; say...something along the lines of LabVIEW.
Is there something out there and I'm just missing it?
