Hello Tom - 

--8<--cut 

WC>> I've no problems so far with Knoppix at all. sorry you've
WC>> not shared that good fortune. 

TW> Wel lit is HIGHLY overated as far as it's use by the LINUX
TW> novice. 

Any version of windows would perplex a first-time computer
user. Every new version of windows brings out the 'stupid
questions' list here on FIDO. The more experienced are happy
campers until something won't set itself up using a 'wizard'
and then there are the times the entire windows OS vanishes and
the machine won't even boot. 

Nothing is easy when using computers but pushing the 'on'
button - everything _after_ that is a wish-and-a-promise. 

TW> And I don't understand why a "REAL" LINUX fan wouild even
TW> use it. 

People use it to demo LINUX to those who can't or won't install
LINUX on their computer. 

TW> Isin't it an Insult to their Intelegence?? 

The 'intelligence' of LINUX users is highly over-rated IMO. I
find that those who use BSD or some flavor of UNIX are the
intelligent *nix users.
