Definitely worth the (re)read, Udhay :)

Anyway, that's why I used "muscle car" instead of tank.  Linux _is_ growing
more user friendly now - it was a tank a few years earlier (in terms of
robustness / invulnerablity) but this has (for certain distros like
redhat / caldera etc) decreased, and user friendliness has increased, so that
we now have muscle cars instead of tanks :)
