RE: [Cooker] Re: how are users supposed to get added to the "audio" group?

Interesting argument about whether Linux will be able to attract Joe Bloe
without going brain dead.  Anybody remember ten years back when the big
argument for M$ over Apple was that although it was more complicated to
configure, you were better off 'cause it gave you more control in the end?

If you want brain dead configuration, go Apple.

If you want buggy configuration, go M$.

If you want something that you can make work despite whatever is thrown at
you, go Linux.

The reality is that we have three different OS's for three different
audiences.  If Linux dumbs down, it's not going to blow M$ nor Apple out of
the water.  It's just going to lose the audience it has now as they migrate
to OpenBSD to avoid another M$ or Apple...
