Sure.

Maybe they should, but more likely, they will just remain Linux users.

And for those with an interest in the long-term health of the Linux community, it certainly doesn't seem like a problem, does it?

Isn't this our problem?

The same could be said for Windows - it's very easy to use, so long as its 
confined to a single desktop.


If I understand correctly, you are saying that a Solaris user can become a Linux user with ease, but not vice versa. Do you consider this to be a strength or a weakness of Linux?


Yes, I am saying (writing actually), in no uncertain terms, that any UNIX admin 
can easily command a Linux system of any kind, but the opposite is not true, as 
we have seen here.

The question is, why is that so? And shouldn't those Linux users stop and think 
about that?
