Quote from a PC magazine:-
"Let's face it: getting support for Windows is much easier than
getting
support for Linux. That's because there are a few things militating
against
the development of a useful Linux support network.
The first is that Linux is a derivative of Unix, a true programmer's
paradise. Unix has long been the domain which you enter by walking
beneath
banners that say 'Normal humans need not apply' and 'User-friendliness
is
for wimps'. A lot of this attitude has rolled over into the Linux
community.
It expresses itself in newsgroups where flaming is a matter of course,
anyone who can't phrase a question in hexadecimal is torn to bits, and
medals are awarded for answers couched in the most cryptic terms
possible."
