I'd like to put in a word for the lowest common denominator. :-)) Most users probably just want a computer that WORKS, reliably, and with the absolute minimum of fiddling around. The vast majority of users don't 'tweak it till it breaks', in the grand linux tradition of technical tweaks. Lots of users DO 'tweak it till it breaks', but in non-tech ways. :-) "You mean I'm not supposed to delete the things in 'Program Files' if I have a problem?" [This was actually said to me....] RJH> If somebody wants that, let'em run Windows... Right now, Windows comes closest to something that 'just works'. The dominant OS will be the one that does the MOST things, but does them in the 'just works' fashion, IMHO. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
