I doubt many of them can tell the difference. They get email and a browser along with basic word processing. That’s 90% of what they do. The only thing they can’t do is run viruses.

Installation has always been the hardest part of Linux. But if the system is pre-installed and has the right drivers for the hardware already built in, how hard is it to run a web browser? Or a word processor?

The biggest issue would be to have an update tool that works as invisibly as Windows Update, i.e., not necessarily invisible, but mostly automated.

I agree. I tried dual boot with Ubuntu 7.10 and it is definitely not plug n play.

Not likely to happen. Any person with at least a brain stem can use Ubuntu. It's VERY user friendly. Most everything in Ubutu just works.

That's great!
I was going to build myself a "PC" computer just to learn and use Linux. I can't build one for that price.

I would buy a "working" return in a minute.

I'm sure most normal people realize that there is more than the box involved, namely monitor, keyboard and mouse.
