    To beat the Hell out of the Anti-Linux guys on User friendliness. Linux is User friendly IF you get compliant hardware, and set it up correctly.

    Its just not hardware vendor friendly. Because hardware vendors don't like to make drivers for us.. Its the hardware vendors and the Music industry trying to smash Linux.

    As for the Package Management issues. I can just click setup under Linux, its called rpmdrake or synaptic. I click the RPM under KDE, and either Synaaptic or Rpmdrake launches.

    I don't know what that guy was talking about with regaurds to Quake 2. Installing Quake 3 for me was simply selecting the PLF Package in RPM drake, and letting it copy the base directory of my Quake 3 Drive...

    God those people piss me off!
