Precisely. As for installing packages, they can be trained how to do that
too. GnoRPM or KDE's version are very easy to use. They just need to be
shown how. What else does a typical end user need to do?
The one area that's tough is setting up PPP and/or cable modem connection.
But then, I've run into a lot of people (even technical ones) that had
trouble doing this on Windows too. And even that may have come a long
way... I don't use any of the GUI tools to set up my connections, so I
don't know how good they are. Someone else can comment.
