i'm just a user and not a developer. though i've dared
to opine that windows has the upper hand in terms of
ease of use, i've been answering a lot of people who
think i'm propagating an unfriendly operating system.
i tell them that they're not entirely right and that
linux is getting userfriendly fast, and i believe it.

i think you're confirming my opinion that linux
programmers want linux to be a programmer's OS and
they dont want linux to be easy. comrade, please be
honest and dont take offence! dont linux programmers
want to keep linux for themselves?

as for the DLL thingie, how come the rpmdrake installs
the rpms easily?

fyi, while i do my office work on windows, i
impatiently wait for my work to end, so that i can
restart the machine and log into linux. i'm find linux
a bit difficult, but i discover new commands everyday
and i love Vi!
