The difference is that granny can't afford a support staff. Let granny run Windows. I love Linux, and I don't want to see it go down the Windows route. I am focusing on getting educated competent people out there converting companies without "point-and-click" Linux on the management side. However, a competent support staff can make Linux easy on the users side. It is not that I prefer command-line only, it is just that point-and-click interfaces hide too much from me. Sometimes I can configure better and faster with vi. I wish you luck with the granny crowed, but IMHO, it is the wrong direction to go with Linux. This is something that Linus talks about also. However, that being said. I sincerely hope that one of us has an "I told you so" coming when Linux has reasonable adoption! _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug
