I disagree :-)
You're here - I'm here - we all got here somehow. I DON'T want to be
presented with a 'wizard' interface everywhere I go. Sometimes it's OK
for people to have to learn a few things before jumping in the driver's
seat - no? I think mandrake has really made some great strides towards
ease of use in the past couple of years - I just tried slackware 8.1 on my
laptop last week... that lasted about two days.
I used to build custom computers for people; I would recommend that new
users get a book called 'windows 98 for dummies' - I couldn't get ANYONE
to read that book - but about once a month or so, they would pay me to
come over and reinstall their system because they blew it up. That was
WINDOWS 98!!!! I think that time and energy would be better spent writing
good howtos and docs so that the people who aren't going to read them
anyway can pay those of who will!
