What Might UserLinux Look Like?

The coolest voice ever.

"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
What might a Linux user look like?
Printing is the biggest freakin' problem in the entire IT industry. Whoever solves it deserves a Nobel prize. Is there any single more common user complaint than "I can't print?"
Queer eye for the linux guy?
