Re: OT: Linux ?

Poor choice of expression on my part, (..but then, I'm good at that ! ).
For the past few years anything that is described similar to, (...quote
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Usability_and_market_share)...,
"In the past, a Linux user needed significant knowledge of computers in
order to install and configure the system. For this reason and, being
attracted by access to the internals of the system, Linux users have
traditionally tended to be more technologically oriented than users of
Windows." ...when I have to tackle an area of computing in which I have
little or no knowledge, (bearing in mind that only a small percentage of
computing knowledge remains relevant across DECADES), ...I call it rubbish !
....mainly because I'm going to have to spend a considerable amount of
unproductive and unprofitable time DAMN WELL reading up on it !!!!!

regards, Richard
