For most of the people a computer and an operating system is something mystical. That's the problem. They know how to switch a pc on and off and that's it. Concerning Linux, it actually works well out of the box. In most cases you don't even have to install any driver to get your hardware to work, in opposite to windows. But if something goes wrong, you either need - a bit of experience in Linux or - the willing to dive a bit deeper in your system Most Windows users lack of both. That's okay, but they shouldn't complain then. With Windows you can run into trouble as well. And in many cases the users are as overstrained as with Linux. This is the experience I've made. > you guys can't always expect from the end user to know how to recompile > the > kernel to get things to work During all the years I use Linux I've never had to recompile the kernel. > secondly: installing software mostly requires the average end user to > compile the software themselves > who never heard the word "compile" neither do most know the bare basics in > Linux Wrong. All Linux distribution have something called a software management tool, containing thousands of software packages. This magic thing is superior compared to a Windows installer. You just search for the software you want to install, mark it with a mouse click and the system will do the rest. Inclusive resolving software dependencies etc. and there's no crappy registry which makes your system slower and slower after each install -> uninstali process. > With Windows all that chaos of chasing down library packages who mostly > are > incompatible across Linux versions etc > is taken care of Again: software management tools will handle all that. > I tried installing Realsoft on many different Linux versions > it's back with Windows I "tried" to install RS on Linux as well. On SUSE and, later on, on Kubuntu. And it works without any problems.

So all you have to do is to - point and click. Most likely you just haven't found it. :) > have a nice day Mr. Linux Yeah, the same to you Mr. Point-And-Click ;) -- Jetzt kostenlos herunterladen: Internet Explorer 8 und Mozilla Firefox 3.5 - sicherer, schneller und einfacher! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/chbrowser
