I am still trying to convince my kids to use linux. They dont buy it. They
learned how to use windows and do not want to put much effort in learning how
to work with linux. To fool them, programs must resemble those of windows and
should not need ( much ) configuration. So the problem is, because they are
used to windows linux has to be even more user friendly ( and faster ).
Nevertheless i agree with you mandrake has don a lot and things are getting
better rapidly.
