A most definatly agree with this point. A know many idiots^H^H^H^H^H^Hnon
technical users who can pretty much get a Win32 machine running, albeit without
the best video drivers, etc, but can at least get it thru the installation
process. And yes, they may even have to go thru it several times. Linux, on
the other hand.. Well, The best case example would be configuring X. No one
likes scanline settings, etc.. ;-P 'SPEC on a laptop.. ;-P
Now, if properly setup for an end user, it's a different story. My wife, and
even 5 year old son, can easily use KDE or Gnome, and they do regularly.. They
can do practically anything as an end user. It's administration that I'd
*never* give them the ability to do. Installation of packages? No way in
heck. ;-P Perhaps with Debians package manager, but certainly not RedHat's
RPM..
