You go and read your service manual for the machine like you learned at college, if there is no manual you ask. If after that you break the bolts should you not be asking "should I you have choosen this line of work?"
I don't know about where you guys are from but in my country they are mostly all GOOD people who strive to do the right thing, even though they have an uphill struggle. That's something to be proud of when you take a look at what is happening in some parts of this World.
Ok, sorry I did misread, no insult intended, I'm in total dumb-ass mode at the moment,
I however think that the specific flavour mentioned to be used as a hybrid base system (Knoppix) is actualy quite a user friendly system compaired to others, the GUI is clean and inviting, the instructions to start of in the correct direction to su and such are self explanitory if one takes the time to read the text enclosed. Admitedly running that particular distro directly from a hdd is not so straight forward and is slightly limited by the knowledge required to play about with it. However, I think the steps taken in that particular distro have enabled a far more user freindly system than many other distros, hence I think the Knoppix-Debian is a good base to expand from, as opposed to some of the other more cumbersome established distros. I do like many others but cannot see past Knoppix, maybe I am on the "wrong" side of the fence...
We should "always" work at making Linux more user freindly, but should we also have to pander to a limited intelects idealism of what user freindly constitutes?

Yep, "User freindly" needs a serious appraisal, in more than one sense, even M$ knows this. A good place to start would perhaps be for totaly escape the programming side of the o/s then focus entirly on the objectives at hand and allow all Linux folks to list what they term as 'user freindly' then expand from there outwards, but has that already not been done? To myself user-freindly means many different things, but I do appreciate my own opinions are somewhat tainted by what I feel has already been largely covered by an "other" system which is more u$er freindly than admin freindly. I am lost in this "user freindly" conversation thingy. What does it all mean? I wish Freud was still alive! Maybe if we focused on how "user Un-freindly" the "other" os is, or would that require all potential users to pre-boot their user-freindly-understandings then apt-get their patches!
I'm obviously quite Clueless, I've been turkeyfied the past few days!!!

You are of course correct, M$ can run Quake well... and makes a good graphics platform, and a word processor,
Linux on the other hand...
Anyway, what's wrong with running a re-mapped O/S in ram? Or wanting to use a computer for more than a word-processing games station??? Or having "choice".
The "Tinfoil Hat" is realy a government trick to catch out the STUPID PARANOID people who are daft enough to buy one in the first place, because as soon as you buy one the Government get saty lock on you and track you everywhere. The only way to get around this problem is to use a STEALTH-HAT!
Steal or "purchase" STEALTH plane or boat parts and glue to head with poxy resin or similar, walk down street in comfort whilst not being followed by any.gov agents! If you find this a "awkward" due to depleated stealth supplies try submerging your head in a shopping trolley full of small pieces of assorted metal, this is also highly portable and avoids answering questions by.mil agents.
But, be carefull of these.store agents, they are everywhere!

Reduce the steep learning curve.

does this mean that the Statue Of Liberty will not be replaced by the Statue Of Billy G in the future, once he starts buying land that is?

Best of all though, I don't have to switch to it, which makes it ROCK many many many times more! Poor Gnomes...
