Many people have a problem when they start to use Linux.
This is because they need to finf out that there is a need to edit obscure
places like the boot configuration in order to make their CD writer work
while it works out of the box on Win32 and Solaris.

There are only a few problems what could easily be fixed. This is why
Alan should be involved with the change.

Why the hell does Linus works the opposite way?
Be realistic! As the problem is important, we need a solution now - not
in three years.
