Heh. In some respects, they're a lot more annoying; that sort of person will start flamewars because they think everyone should use their distribution, their desktop environment (KDE vs. Gnome, the rematch!), and gawd knows what else. One particular individual I've talked to insists on providing everyone with running updates on why he thinks his current point-and-click Linux distro is better than everything else ever, including what he was running last week. Posts upon posts of "wow, Mandrake 7 is so much better than Red Hat!", "wow, Mandrake 7.1 is so much better than Mandrake 7!" and "wow, you really know Linux, do you use Gnome or KDE?" get pretty annoying... As well as twelve-step instructions on changing a file's owner using whatever clicky environment that user is using, where chown does the job in one. Bah. At least most Windows users realise that some parts of the system aren't going to be as easy to use than others, and accept this (they won't complain that the stuff hiding away in the depths of Control Panel, for instance, isn't very easy to understand). Point-and-click-Linux bigots scream blue murder when someone suggests that what they want to do involves editing a config file by hand or using a terminal window for anything more complex than spawning another X app. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
