In a linux session, copying/editing files residing in Windows/DOS partitions, and then saving them back requires su permission. This is not possible when logged in as a user, hence the frustration/switching. Linuxconf was a chance observation I happened to stumble upon. Like I said, I am only an end user, not much interested in the intricacies of OSs. > After being on comps for the better part of the last two > decades, I can only confirm that there is nothing as user > friendly as a 80x25 b&w ... these fancy GUIs are not too > good for aging presbiopic eyes, and mouse is no match for > the good old qwerty for speed :-) Well, people tend to get used to certain things. I have tried to wean people away from Word Star to MS Word ( which in my opinion is much more user-freindly ), but they feel more at home with their multiple key combinations, and yes, they are much faster at producing the same letter with Word Star than I am with MS Word. As for me, I could never remember the key combinations. As an end-user, I do prefer GUIs - not for their fancy, for their user-freindliness.
