Linux is becoming easier and easier to install and use. The developers
aren't dumb. They are doing their research about the people using the
software, and they know that average people need an easier UI. I get
around fine in *Debian* Linux, and I'm no computer genius.

I didn't dip in my toes with Linux. I jumped right in and loved it!
It's easy to test out Linux. Don't be cheap, people- burn a LiveCD or boot
from a USB device. Try it out, and I promise that you will like something
about it! :)
