Ok,
I'm not in a tolerating mood,
if you're going to post something like, "Linux is shit." or "Linux sucks, get xp."
get out, otherwise, you're more than welcome to check up on my project and comment.

I've recently started using Linux out of boredom.
I like the idea that it's open source and for my Senior project in highschool, as I am an A/B student looking to get into MIT or CalTech, I've decided to build a very user friendly version of Linux. I'm a junior right now in high school, which means I have a year and a half to finish this, seems fair right? Yes. So I've looked into LFS, and that's what I'm doing.

Now, here's your part,
you guys are going to need to give me problems with OSs that you don't enjoy.
Also, give me ideas as to what I could do to make it better. My directed audience is a non tech-savvy person, so please bring that to mind.
Maybe if it's good enough I'll sell it, but that's a big step and it means I'll need artists and testers later to make it look and feel great.
So let's start our adventure!
Kieran.

hahah, what annoys me about some of the linux things are the outdated icons.. but designers will change that?

Also its nice if It has its own anti-virus with It because downloading those are annoying.

Main problems I have with OSs at the moment are:

The control panel in windows is a bit un-organized for me.. It takes me ages to find the thing I wish to change.

I can't think of any more right now but when I've had a better think about it I'll post some more.
