With all due respect, Debian and its derivatives will never
compete with OS X or Windows unless they make this seamless
for the end-user. I shouldn't have to script it; along with
a web browser and an office suite, seamless networking that
you rarely have to think about is essential for the
end-user.

I'm perfectly able to script such a thing, but the average
user shouldn't be expected to do so.
