Maybe linux geeks should install mandrake once in a while to see how things are done there?
The only times I ever installed mandrake it gave me a horribly broken system that didn't work, I even purchased a box set once upon a time when a newbie to help me get along and they had managed to ship a CD with broken init scripts. Their fix was to download 4 rpms and install them at the command line, that didn't exactly fill me with confidence.
Anyhow quick question for everyone "do you find the windows gui intuitive?" because it seems to me that people have complaints about linux etc. (some of the problems are of course valid) but i find that the "market leader" is a stinking pile of doggy doo when it comes to the gui. After watching my dad trying to do simple tasks (he wanted to print some .jpg photos that I took with my digicam from a CD and make them fill an a4 sheet and not look bad) on a windows box the other day and really struggling I think the problems people have may not just be a linux problem. Also don't get me started on Mac OS.... ;)
