Hi List,
I tend to concur with Oded,
The first problem is that Linux advocates usually do not understand just
how unusable and inappropriate Linux is for the average person, which
leads to the second problem, that there is no Linux distribution that
works out-of-the-box like Windows does. This isn't a problem of dumb
users, it's a design flaw in current Linux distributions.
Regards,
