We've been perfectly nice during all this. Never once struck first with a flame. Only you're flaming here.

I believe that people should have a certain degree of intelligence before trying to do something. You need a drivers liscense before you can buy a car, you should know how to use a computer to the very least degree before trying to. The fact is, you aren't told to RTFM if you ask for help in the right place. I may have lost, but no argument can be made that I'm simply right.

Yes, but that does not mean the software should make users jump through unnecessary hoops just to get something done. should all cars have to require a user to pump the brakes. Hell no, we passed that. Linux is stuck between it's UGLY past (UNIX) and the promising future ahead of it. If it stays UNIX people will NOT want to use it.

If they are both going to Linux why not you.
If you don't you'll be left behind.

I don't know what you guys are talking about...what's wrong with Unix?
If you mean the file structure, with /usr, /home, /lib, and whatever - what's so bad about it? I think it's very logical and simple. Plus, /usr and /home are the only ones you normally have to deal with.
Other than this, I don't know what's so wrong about the Unix heritage. Recent Linux distros are NOT hard to use in any respect, unless of course it supposed to be (like Slackware).

Slackware isn't supposed to be hard. PatV didn't sit down and say "gosh, how could I make a Linux distro that's really hard to use?" It was probably more along the lines of "I'm a geek, what would I like to see in a Linux?" It wasn't really designed to be a noob distro, and it wasn't designed to be archaic. It was designed to be completely and totally configurable, down to the last semicolon. If you want the configuration done for you by wizards, don't use Slackware.
