"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
How do you know Jesus said this? Because it's in a book that everyone says is the word of God? Theologians are pretty sure that "but through me" line was put in because the church was beginning to splinter into separate factions and they had to do something to try and keep it monolithic.
Religions crack me up, most of them end up causing more damage to humanity than the Bush administration.
While that may be true most people that want to experiment with linux as a desktop OS will choose a default install. The default installs seem to be getting bigger and bigger and as much as I like the latest KDE. I'll stick to a stripped down gnome. And technically no, linux is not an OS but culturally speaking, it is. When most people hear "Linux", they think of a complete distro, not a kernel.
That would include me. All of my customers have 'doze with a few macs but after I started toying around with linux a few years ago I got hooked on it. Linux on the desktop has improved dramatically since the days of horrible fonts and dependancy nightmares and as much as I'd like to see it succeed on the desktop, I'd hate to see it turn into a bloated "all things to all people" OS like windows. On the flip side, an increase in popularity would drive more HW/SW vendors to develop stuff for *nix.
