Here in Norway there is an organisation called SkoleLinux working for deployment of Linux in schools. It's currently working on an easy installer and proper translations of Office-products. It just recently got an 200.000 NOK in funding from the Education and Research department.
My bank uses a security-card which generates some kind of random key every time I am supposed to log in. The key-generator is like a calculator and it has a password protecting it. So, what I do is enter my bank-account on the HTTPS and then get the "calculator" give me my password which I then enter.
The plusses with this system is that any snoopers won't get my password (new password each time) and you'll need both my bank-account-number and my handy little keygenerator (which is password-protected with my personal 4 digit pin-code).
I also used to run Slackware in my early Linux childhood - this was a system were you had to really "learn" Linux, only having at hand your favourite text-editor and the config-files - atleast this is how I remember it..
Now I am running Mandrake, and happy with that, especially with easy to use packagemanager (rpm) and neat config-scripts...
And about just suddenly taking the jolt to version 7 is something to be expected from this lot, remember they did (or do have) a small icon of "Bob" on the cover of their CD:)
Anyway, it's a pitty the whole ordeal with glibc took too much time - I think it kinda died with struggling with libc. =-kiOwA

Actually, if you check nvidia's homepage you will find an X-server for their card - atleast I found Riva TNT there.

Well, to boot a system without the keyboard
;)
or/and display hooked up is dependant on the
specific BIOS the motherboard uses.
Usually you can just find an option that says
"ignore errors" or something like it, you'll
know when you see it.
