You are a pretty pompous ass, aren't you? Calling fellow computer users
morons and spreading your FUD so that you can appear to be the non-moron is
sad indeed. Sorry to inform you, but with user-friendly distros like
Mandrake/Mandriva, software is easier to install than under Windoze. Not
only that, but should you wish to remove a particular piece of software,
that is just a click away and ALL of the package is removed. Not like
Windoze where the end-user has no idea what should or shouldn't be removed
and all sorts of garbage remain on the system, clogging up the Registry and
using up hd space.

You aren't gawd's gift to computer users my friend and your so called
average computer morons can just as easily learn to run Linux as Windoze,
without all the insuing problems.

So now you speak for the "average person". I'm afraid, you're one of them.
Very average indeed, with still much to learn about utilizing the full
capabilities of a computer which Windoze will never provide. Windoze is an
operating system designed to keep computer users "average" and never
realize the full benefits of operating a computer where the end-user is in
control as opposed to the programmers at MickeySoft. The only reason gurus
like you find Linux so hard to deal with is because Windoze has "protected"
you from really knowing how a computer operates. That's why I say in my sig
that Windoze results in the dummying down of the computer world.

The context of this thread was to provide a solution to the problems the OP
was having. Sadly, you're the one who has chosen to make it something else.
Hopefully the OP will look into the advice I offered and try it out. My 25
plus years using computers has led me to make the suggestion that the OP
could find a solution by looking elsewhere and was meant to be helpful.
Sorry that you have decided this is somehow not in the best interests of
the OP. But then again, you consider him a "moron", I do not. I believe
that any computer user today, including those that have no other experience
but Windoze, can migrate to a better operating system and in so doing
overcome the inherent inadequacies one finds in the MickeySoft product and
be much happier after having done so, for all the reasons I pointed out.
