Untrue. We had a lot of WinCentric people in marketing..customer service and a receptionist at SuSE (oakland) that were very happy to point and click through the day and didn't have any real issues with it. My father who is a retired accountant has been using SuSE for the last year and loves his Gnome desktop and StarOffice. He had no trouble with any of it. My father isn't that computer savvy...He is now in love with Konqueror and Kmail..but I guess he did something most people wouldn't do..he RTFM'ed...but he didn't buy a book on it until 7 months into using it.
Very true. I convinced my wife to let me replace the Windows computer with my Linux computer for 1 week. The first day or two was rough, but by the end of the week the wife and kids didn't want to give it up. If Loki could make a version of Half-Life for Linux, they would still be using it. I was actually the one who took the Linux box back because I wasn't getting any time on it! ;^) Ken -- Did you know that clones never use mirrors? -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
