The Tale of the Accidental Upgrade - An experiment with Linux goes horribly
right.

| That may seem a silly statement, but I have taught people to use MS
| Windows over the years, and to a large degree it is not that it is
| easy to use, it is that people are trained in using it, with all
| of its various user interface interactions. KDE is just as easy,
| if not easier, even if it is different in some ways.

Mandriva One Not the Linux Dinosaur of Old
,----[ Overview ]
| I found early versions of Linux weren't very user-friendly, so this
| time around, I used my 7-year-old son as my test subject. I gave him a
| little lesson on how to use Mandriva One and off he went. On his own, he
| was able to boot up the machine and get himself online to his favorite
| kid Web sites without any problems at all -- meaning today's Linux has
| a short learning curve.

Sometimes I just want to be stupid
,----[ Quote ]
| All of this graphical and auto-magic installation goodness has made
| me mentally fat and lazy, we'll leave the physical out of this. I
| now expect this wondrous GUI-ness all the time, and when it's not
| there, the small nerve in my neck, that lets itself be known when
| I'm frustrated, starts to signal its existence. Now with the
| hundreds of packages that are available on Linux, you would think
| I would know better than to expect everything to be point and
| click. Actually, I do know better and I should be happy with that.
