While Linux is becoming more and more like Windows (user_friendly), let us not forget that it's still a hacker's OS, and will require a lot more than _running_setup_ to get your applications working right. It will work, some day, just not as quick as a double-click of the mouse. If you remember this, you won't have problems.
