Hi,
I don't uderstand. The are Linux illiterate, and they display
all the discerning qualities of 2 year olds, they do not want to shop
around and learn about the merits of the distribution, and they do
not want to spend time because they are no hobbyists.
Why do I want them then? Seems to mee that Red Hat makes a
fine distribution of Linux for them. They do not seem like people who
cintribute to the community.
