Windows people usually don't maintain their Windows, at least they seldom know what they do, they usually click a bottom and get a new service pack. Linux users usually maintain their user space by knowing what they are doing. People used to Windows, usually buy hardware, connect hardware and use hardware. People used to Linux usually take care about the hardware they buy. I'm aware that XP "support" stops now. If this is the reason to switch to Linux, I suspect that most of them will not be satisfied with Linux. There seems to be a reason why they used XP as long as possible, instead of using Linux. The "brainless" approach doesn't work that good with Linux. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
