I respectfully disagree. Think of all the problems reported just in this list alone. Think of all the times we need to log on to a root console and issue arcane commands to debug and fix a show-stopping problem. I'm a software developer with 25+ years experience with computers of all kinds, and there have been many times when only sheer determination to make it work, help from others here, and four books on Linux, have gotten my Linux machines working right. If I weren't different from most folks, there were lots of times I would have simply deleted Linux and reinstalled Windows. When it comes to a commodity OS installed on computers destined for folks who simply want to *use* a computer without significant drama, Windows is often the best solution. They don't need to work nearly so hard at it. I still maintain that Linux enthusiasts are different than most folks. And I'm happy to consider myself one. But I don't need everyone else using the same OS I use in order to support my self-esteem. Just as I don't expect everyone else to commute to work on a 180 hp motorcycle. Some prefer economy cars, and for them, that's probably a better and safer answer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
