Linux is now mature enough for home
applications - multimedia etc, also for small office - LAN, internet,
Word. I use it for both for a couple of months and I like it.
The only drawback is this damned end-user-service.
Obscure manuals, "guess installations", much of IT work before
you really get in.
I understand that (almost) for free
you cannot expect much. But it's a real thing that keeps linux away from
average people and popularity.

Hi Zbigniew,
this is the typical guess work that is required to compile any gnu
program. As you do it more, it becomes easier. x-) The main thing is that
if
you need 'foo' as a dependency, you need to install 'foo-dev'. Sometimes
they make various version and you kind of ask around or guess which
might fulfill the requirements, thus the most recent version of zlib
source is zlib1g-dev and not zlib-dev.
Cheers,
Kev
