Re: Why Linux will never be mainstream

On Fri, 17 Nov 2006 00:14:16 +0100, Hadron Quark inscribed to the world:

Linux is generally a lot harder to setup and configure for the average
desktop user : if it wasnt it would be more widely adopted.

Install and configure for linux is easy, given a user friendly distro
(Ubuntu, Linspire, Xandros, and others)-- AND if installed to a blank hard
drive without MS-Windows in the picture. Problem is most linux installs
are commonly done as dual boot, installing alongside Windows which makes
it tricker, but only if wanting Windows to co-exist.
