I've been using linux since SuSE 5-something, 5.3 I think. I've learned a lot. But without a proper framework it all looks just a collection of ad hoc pieces of information.
Many people say that linux should win desktop from the other os, and this would become possible when users would not need to know what child processes are.
Actually, I think it's more likely to be the other way round. At the moment most users don't know what goes on 'under the hood' so to speak - thus they believe what the big bad wolf tells them. They can only question the propaganda when they know there is something to question. Catch 22 ...? Dylan -- "Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not, we are Between the wars"
