At the beginning of December, I asked you to submit your dreams for Linux. Yesterday I announced the most popular dreams for Linux. They were quite predictable, but that just shows there are certain issues that are important to a lot of people (and also that they are difficult issues to change.) However, there were also some unexpected dreams in the mix. Those ideas make up today’s list of the most interesting dreams for Linux.

It should be noted that I did not take into consideration whether or not the following dreams seemed realistic or probable.

• A Commercial Distribution with an End-User Focus Submitted by Petros Koutoupis. The majority of commercial Linux distributions focus on the enterprise and server areas, rather than on the end-user desktop. The biggest exception is Canonical, but Petros Koutoupis believes they have “spread themselves too thin.” For example, a Canonical-like company focused on education could be ideal for furthering Linux on the desktop.
• Dual-boot PCs Straight from the Manufacturer Submitted by valmorel. Valmorel proposed that, since many people initially dual-boot their PCs in the process of transitioning, computer manufacturers start selling computers that dual-boot Windows and Linux out of the box.
• Training from the Computer Manufacturer Submitted by Sn3f3ru. Dell offers computers with Linux, but they are so hidden that it almost seems like they are doing it grudgingly (or Microsoft is allowing it grudgingly .) Sn3f3ru’s dream is that computer manufacturers would take a more active role in training the user about Linux.
• Linux for PDAs and Phones Submitted by Eddy. Linux on phones and PDAs has been rapidly gaining attention, particularly with Google’s Android. Still, you can’t easily install Linux on your existing phone. Eddy’s dream is to be able to replace whatever software comes on your phone with Linux.

Well, those are some of the dreams I thought were the most interesting. Feel free to point out the ones you find most interesting in your comments.
