Please, please, PLEASE everyone take note of this. I use Macs
and Linux. If I set up a new mac, I just plug it into the LAN
and the power and start using it. There is no good reason why
a Linux system can't be like this. There is no good reason
why the power and flexibility can't be kept under the bonnet
for the times when you really NEED it. For a desktop user,
that is hardly ever.
We shouldn't barf about M$ - after all, even win98 has its
place (I believe its excellent for games). Make Linux as
friendly as a Mac, and the Microsoft monopoly will be a thing
of the past.
