I'd love to agree with this assessment, but as I'm not exactly a moron, and am *still* stuck in the mud getting my Mandrake 8.0 distribution to do all that windows did for me (effortlessly). Please understand, I'd *really* love to agree with this, but unfortunately, even mandrake is not all that error free, ie, still not an alternative to windows. My latest lunacy, installed Mandrake 8 on a brandy new 1.2G Tbird system for my neighbor, and though networking went ok, and I got X running passably, come to find out that esd won't support his on-board audio, so it's either another card, or back to RH7.1 which *did* for some reason support his audio. One of these days though... For now, it would suffice to say that all the winservers should just give up and shut down for linux replacement... and take our pain away as well as their own.
