cool, but not with linux - must disagree (Score 1)

/etc and cousins are just he underpinnings of the system. The interface is what determines the user experience. If these devices shipped fully configured, with a web browser as the interface, I think they'd be fine for everyone. The average user would have to see nothing but the browser; and running linux, it would just work. Simple enough?

(And why multiuser? I'd bet that there are folks out there somewhere who have bookmarks that they don't want their moms/dads/wives/boyfriends/drinking buddies/house pets to see... )
