Therefore, Linux should absolutely try to simplify the installation procedures for small networks, as they become more and more common use. As per now, it is still very complex, installing such small networks. Another problem for instance, I'm trying to solve, is to make my hp officejet d125xi available to other network users - with no success up to now. Most users I know, even IT personal, just revert to a window solution, and leave Linux behind them - maybe for ever.
