Why are we trying to entice someone that naive into runnung
Linux? Anyone that new to UNIX would suddenly be thrown into sysadmin
duties, and would be swamped.
In some ways, decieving users into believing that a Linux
system follows the same no questions asked model of microsoft is
unethical.
We are not that hard up for users that we need start pulling
wool over their eyes, right?

yes, this mesage is provocative. But there is indeed a point that
people are apparently forgetting. Are we sure that user is indeed our
target audience?
