Yes!
No!
Maybe sometime soon.
yes... if they make installing software easier for laymen.
It is pronounced (s oo s) with a line over the oo part, rhymes with noose or juice or Zeus.
And once you learn VI's search-and-replace syntax, You will find that changing basic calls over to STL ia quite straightforward.
Or you cound choose to use a GUI editor, like abiword in text mode or somehting, which gives you your ctrl-c and ctrl-v, so you can gradual step down from your windows addiction. Like the patch.
And if you really need a windows fix,. they make a BSOD screensaver for Linux.
So I don't get to say 'Siouxsie Linux'?
Oh no, not VI!

I think that the main problem with Linux is that its hard to find it preinstalled. One of the most annoying things to do for me is to install a new OS, even upgrading my friends computer from 98 to XP was a pain in the butt. Another friend has been daring and installed it on his PC. He got it installed, but being a moron he 'accidentally' unpartitioned his HD and lost everything. I've seen a comp with only Linux since one of the programming teams at my school won one in a competition and it works great.
Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
I can C.
Compiler: gcc
You can blame Microsoft for there not being any pre-installed Linux boxes. Dell offered Linux as a pre-installed OS about a year ago and I believe Microsoft threatened to raise the prices for their OEM versions of Windows.
haha mandrake 9.0 may be easier but obviously many of you have not installed much add on's to it. A lot of them are a booger, and w/out knowing about linux makes it a pain cough cough .bin files took me forever. A lot of files cough cough apache, you still have to use the shell. i love it though
Oi Oi Oi!!!!
Is installing the nvidia drivers on an SMP machine that much harder than installing them on a single processor system? I've gotten my 13 year old non-techy brother to install nvidia drivers on a single processor Mandrake 8.2 system (whilst I talked him through it on the phone). It's the same installation of Mandrake that he performed himself (again, while I was on the phone).
