That's a sorry excuse of you.

If you wanna be superior then start learning to be better than others.

There's no real knowledge needed to install a disk, camera or use desktop software.

When it comes to maintaining of complex networks and servers....? That's a linux superiority you're talking about. Not the GUI.

I even tryed out Mandrake Server,... well it sucks major. If admin is not smart enough to control (and choose) firewall, mail, web and other services. There's a little to be expected of him. Some baasic predefault settings are not enough to make a (really) trusted environment.

Well, that's your superior edge you should be aiming for not some basic operations.

Is this another case of some linux people hating a distro because it's too easy to use?
Then again I love that linux is getting easy. I just hate to click zillion options to make my desktop as I imagine. Well, I used to like that in the past, but gnome2 "just works" out of the base and fills all my bassic GUI needs. So I can concentrate on the job I'm doing not on GUI. But for me Redhat is the way to go.

I wish some people would keep their attitudes in line with their principles . . .
Damn right! They should start to evolve instead of sitting on the knowledge they have (without progressing) and dumb down others that might become equal with no hard work.
