This is usually a delusion: is not that windows or linux is more or less easy (now or then) but how many people in your circle can solve/cope a problem with your system. Just run a simple experiment: knock at your neighbors' door and tell them you have a problem with your Internet Explorer; there's a high chance that someone can help. Now do the same but tell them you have a problem with Konqueror. They will close the door in our nose and say something like "The guy on third floor is saying foolishness" :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
