Linux for Unsophisticated Users - A Success Story
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux on the desktop continues to be perceived as a "Hobbyist's"
| operating system. This view is perpetuated no doubt by Microsoft
| marketing execs, who have long touted Windows as being the "most
| user friendly" desktop.

|
| In the battle for perception, though, the occasional success
| can be noted in favour of Linux. When a friend brought me his
| computer "to see if there was anything I could do to fix it",
| the opportunity to put Linux to the test was too good to pass
| up. The experiment, such as it was, started in January, 2005.
| Two years on, I'd like to report on its success, and what was
| learned along the way.
