There's an article over at Desktop Linux discussing some findings about the average Linux user, that was recently released by OpenSUSE. What these users look for in an operating system is -- in order of ranking from most important to least -- stability, security, hardware support, and usability. The first two items are on almost eveyone's list of why Linux is an important operating system. The latter two are on almost everyone's list of areas where Linux could stand some more work. This info does center around the OpenSUSE distro of Linux, but that probably isn't too surprising. It is rather interesting, however.
