There are many paths to the same destination. So seeing as i agree with you, 
it's best to allow people to learn Linux in the way they choose to learn 
linux.

I must say however that even the GUI is impressive. Alot of the GUI still 
requires plenty of manual input and isn't point and clicky hell. This GUI for 
Linspire might get people used to using their keyboards alittle more :-) <G>

Unlike the Windows GUI, KDE requires you to actually *think* about what your 
doing and doesn't just do everything for you :-)
