Which is fine and true if the user is only running things like a web browser or mail client. But when they have to admin the system things go quickly down hill from there. Even something as simple as updating the system is different between the linux distributions. And then if you really want to use the system for more than just a web kiosk/email client (like say running apache) there are differences again in how apache is configured among the distributions.
