Perhaps. If this were a casserole recipe list I'd agree that I was not
helpful. But having met many of the list members in person, I know that
they are quite intelligent polymaths that should be able to take it in
stride and do the right thing for themselves.

Now *that* is rude! I love it. :-)

I recently saw a review of SuSE 8.2 saying that the install was easier
than Windows. I don't know how true that is, I haven't installed Windows
recently. I have to say, after recently installing SuSE on my laptop,
that the person who can't install it probably needs parental guidance
while computing. (That would be assuming they do not run into any
hardware quirks.)
