But, surely, is there not room for consumerf-cused distros as well as
hardcore distros? That is, distros that *do* hold your hand and make things
easy. This is one of the things i like about SuSE - it doesn't demand that I
use the command line for everything. Linux heresy, perhaps, but I only use
linux because it does the job (of a desktop, business PC) better and more
stable than Windows.
