Thank YOU, Mr. Wallen, for your article.
Although I know, this does not belong here, just a word.
I have been trying (STRUGGLING) to move away from MS and get friendly 
with Linux for 7-8 years now!
So far with little success. Yet, I still keep trying.

To quote from your article:
"Each of these distributions ... are ideal for users seeking an 
alternative to Windows. ... They are user-friendly and will get the job 
done."
That is definitely NOT my experience.
Maybe the statement (and Linux) is meant for computer specialists. I am 
not one of those.

Whenever I ask my (what must sound to the computer experts) stupid 
questions, I get in every of the many friendly communities the advice:
"If you don't know s**t about computers, you should not dare go near the 
damn thing (=Linux)."

My experience is, that Linux is making the transition VERY difficult for 
non-experts, ordinary mortal men, that "just"
want to work with the computer - without knowing about computer science, 
software design, programming techniques etc.

But I am probably boring you.
Sorry for that.
Thomas
