Debian can be used by many folks, but it is not as end-user, no-command-line focused as the ones mentioned before. It was not targeted to an average M$ or Mac user.

Free software allow this natural competition/free market and it gives users the power to make their own choices. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
