	As a user of Linux for around a decade I think things are looking more bright than ever for Linux to be used as Desktop. Here are some of the indicators:		As a user of Linux for around a decade I think things are looking more bright than ever for Linux to be used for Desktop PC's. Here are some of the indicators:
	*More things are happening on the Web. New versions of Internet Explorer conforms to web standards and Linux users have access to both Firefox and Google Chrome. In the past many pages looked awful and did not work properly on Linux, this is no longer the case.		*More things are happening on the Web.

	However Linux is still needing some work for it to be an easy Desktop alternative to Mac and Windows. On this page I will give some suggestions on how to improve Linux ~~to be better for Desktop System~~.
