I'm one of those amateurs DJ's playing MP3s at private parties. I would like to know what people like me use in terms of software? I'm looking for some good, easy to use solution which can support two soundcards (one for queuing, one for playing the music), beat counting and pitch control...
People who call tech support usually do **NOT** want to learn. They also want a fix to their problem only. They do not want to be taught about the workings of a computer.
Perhaps Kurtz first analogy (users/students vs tech support/teachers) is flawed, but he mentions a much better one:
I use a toilet everyday but never has a plumber openly mocked me for not knowing how to fix a pipe.
I guess you didn't understand completely what is being said. The writer meant that the OS shouldn't allow the user to enter invalid data. For example, the cp command accepts the name of an non-existing file as the first argument, and only complains when the user executes it. On the other hand, when you have a file manager, this cannot (or shouldn't:) happen
Also, let me note, that the author talks about Linux for the Masses. So, I think, everything (including the "one distro and one wm" statment) should viewed in that light.

It was done in Budapest's Subway as well (between Népstadion and Keleti Pályaudvar, for anyone who cares) :)
At least you've got some useful content in your reply :)
