Re: Linux - pardon the off topic response.

>>>Windows isn't remarkably easy from the ground-up-having-never-touched-it
perspective, either. I can't think of more than three people I know (and
considering the industry I work in, that's sad) that even know how to
properly maintain their Winders boxes. Linux is simply different, and the
RedHat group, for one, has gone a long way to make it as painless as they
can to get running and learn. <<<

This is actually a valid viewpoint.  Windows has a rep for being easier to
learn and use, but I am not sure this still applies...at least not to the
degree it used to.  The GUIs are there for Linux...and every season, my web
design classes have at least two people who have about 30 minutes worth of
total mouse experience.  I try to help them learn the Win98 boxes, but they
certainly do not consider it easy.
