“Geeks are geeks. they tend not to be very sociable.
I think that is true. Linux on the desktop is for geeks. So you have to become a geek to use it. Don’t expect much help getting there.”
From a Linux veteran,although still a beginner in terms of technical stuff on some issues I must admit there is some truth to the Geek charge regarding Linux vs Windows.
However,I disagree that you have to be a geek just to get a Linux desktop to do what you do on windows.
What I am saying is that when a user has problems with the system, technical support becomes necessary. On a PC, that help comes from the hardware vendor or Microsoft. On a Mac it comes from Apple. Where does the help come from on a Linux box? At that point the user needs to be the system administrator. Good luck if you don't have a solid background in Unix system administration.
