Re: Easy Installs

[Thomas Vincent <tvincent@linuxcare.com>]

Personally that is why Apple invented Mac OS X. Unix with a Mac interface, and
a command line. The elitist attitude is something that just doesn't fly. I
don't like NT for several technical reasons I wont go into. Ease of use is a
factor for management. Unix needs to be easier to use or it wont survive. Linux
is a wonderful thing because it is introducing more and more users to Unix. It
has mindshare, and is gaining market share. I use both Linux, and BSD based
OS's. Depending on the task.


Elitism in Unix will be its downfall if it becomes prevalent.
