OK if you're a newbie and you want to surf the web or type letters how would
you go about it??
What app to surf with?? Connection to the net?? And remember most people
can't even operate MS Dial Up Networking, let along get to grips with pppd
etc..
Seeing there are a number of distro's now configuring net conxions for you
during install that might be taken care of. But what about this letter..
Where's Word??? :-) Or even Notepad???

Nothing difficult really just often time consuming which you don't always
have. Probably the cause for more than a few people to give up linux.
