Hi!
Does anyone know a good essay/txt on the subject of 
non-standar/toomany standards development in OpenSource?

Basicly I am looking for txts like "the best software that never was..."
but from the perspective of practical issues why Linux 
is so hard to get to average Joe's desktop...
heaving 20 PIM, hundreds of e-mail softwares, desktop themes
and so ... and still not heaving a good cut-an-paste across 
applications.

Best,

hi,

im actually cant remember link of such a text but there must be several about this topic.
about copy-and-past:
there is 'good' crossplatform copy-and-paste in linux since the beginning of linux or the beginning of x i guess.
just use: left mouse-button to mark, middle mouse-button to paste :)
it works with almost all x-applications and with gpm you can copy-and-paste this way also on the console. there are also some tools out where you have some kind of clipboard.
just depends on what you define as good.
