i posted that linux version numbers are joke on linuxquestions.org and i was bombarded with negative comments from linux community
it is big joke - so called programmer writes 2 line code which does not work at all and calls it version 1.0
one of the reasons why linux can not get much acceptance with general computer users is that linux has no control over developers - in contrast with apple and microsoft averyone can call himself programmer and get anything to pass as linux program - that includes both content and version number
unless linus gets a stick same like apple and microsoft have over their software developers i do not see any way for linux to get general desktop acceptance
