And it shows. If you read Hughes' original rant, you'll find he spends
the first half of the article /praising/ the ease and simplicity of
installing /Free Software/ under GNU/Linux, but then bemoans the fact
that /proprietary software/ (VMware Workstation) requires that he leaves
the sanctity of the gooey for a few seconds.
It never fails to amaze me that the first thing these Widiots do when
they try GNU/Linux, is impulsively start trying to pump it full of
proprietary Shovelware, then complain when that requires any effort ...
or crashes. Then it's "Linux's fault".
