Linux. Debian (Stable) For the intense hobbyist only? Here is just a question: How much truth is in the statement 'Installing and maintaining modern Linux is a non issue for the potential user now. Lets move on.'?
My recent experience was in helping a friend fix his upgrades after his GUI upgrade gave an unhelpful error code he was unable to overcome. The issues appeared to be authentication and the GUI hiding what was going on in the background. Others prefer the command line and ncursers like programs (aptitude) so they can see what is going on. With out my intermittent help he would be unable use Linux a lot of the time. Some of it is just computer user issues, but I'll bet that's not the whole picture. Thoughts?
