Goof thing about linux is that you can choose. It exists in many falvours, it's up to you choosing the one you prefer. "Using it properly", often refers to managing servers which is a differnt issue than using it as a desktop. Gentoo IMO is a distro for a power user, having to deal with compilations flags, and things like these. > I still believe Linux is _not_ for everyone and will never be for everyone. > There is a difference between being a Linux zealot and a Linux enthusiast.

Perhaps it isn't already for everyone (if only hardware houses would release native drivers for all their products...) but I still think we're on the right way and soon we will have a desktop breakthrough of linux.
