Well, it may not be perfectly fine, but for a large number of users it is tolerable enough to not make them want to immediately switch to something else.
I think that if flying was cheaper and faster than driving to work, more people would choose to fly. The problem with your analogy is that cars are a great deal cheaper when transporting a few people over a short distance.
Linux is faster and cheaper than OS X in pretty much every case.
3 Years is an insanely long time. That's why I run debian sid, which has had a new release in the 3 minutes that it took me to read your post and reply to it.
I'm a debian user. I'm not trying to troll. But, it's the same damn installer. The questions are the same and the layout is practically the same. The X-based installer is just as (but no more) intuitive than the curses installer.

Google Brazil should be careful. Before they turn anyone over to the ministry of information, they should make sure it's the right man and not just some typo.
Lets face it, before yum, rpm was a pain in the ass. Before yum, rpm users were likely to find themselves in "rpm hell" seeking numerous rpm packages that were required by whatever they sought to install. Many people who migrated to debian or gentoo during that period are likely to have only bad memories of the rpm packaging system.
Have you looked at the people who make up the JCP? IBM, Apple, Cisco, Intel, HP, ATI, NVidia, Creative Labs, Google (!), Apache, Apogee, Namco... you really think you're smarter than their combined intellect and months of discussion?
Yeah. The individual usually is smarter than the group.

Hey, if it makes them fix the copy/paste bug, it's all good by me.

what can I get for a rib?
Sadly, I've spent 624 hours reading slashdot in this month alone...
Maybe, but by switching to 2.6, debian risks losing several users to slackware.

You say that as if there are non-obvious software patents.
You know, you can save yourself a bunch of CPU cycles by just using ROT26 instead.
With vista coming out soon, 2007 may be the year of desktop windows.
Jason Biggs called. He says he wants his joke back.

No, but to be fair, granny doesn't really know how to install windows or OS X either.
I haven't testing LVM, but I know that the sarge installer supports software raid. I wouldn't be surprised if it supports LVM as well.
One, plus 21,999 thin clients.
Or you can just download the stuff under your name and then die. Whatever's easier for you.
Only if their name is on the ISP's bill.
Yeah. The individual usually is smarter than the group.
Emperical evidence suggests otherwise. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you probably believe that idiotic "round earth theory" as well.
Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("df")
Yeah, but it takes balls to install gnome when it's shipped as a tar of binary files.
