[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 862773"] Oh dont get me wrong, they have made tremendous strides and continue to do so. I mean if all someone wants to do is check emails and surf, its already perfectly set up from that. Once you start deviating a little from that though is where it starts to get a little dicey at times. Still ot has greatly improved, but still needs a little work to simplify and be a little more consistent IMO. Constistancy is another big issue for linux. There are way more distros then you can count on all your fingers and toes. Furthermore they all have different ways of doing things (ie: sudo apt-get, sudo pacman and sudo dfn). These all do the same thing in principle, but they are different enough that it can be confusing for someone new wanting to switch over. [/QUOTE]
