Yes, my hardware is capable of running a Linux distribution. The computer's operator, however, does not wish to take the time to learn the inner workings of Linux so that he (I) can do simple things like install a new piece of hardware. Make Linux as simple to use as Windows -- in all respects -- and you'll have my ear. Until such time, busy moderately-savvy folks like myself will continue to use Windows. I don't want or need to know how an OS works. An OS should be seamless, simply a conduit for running software and using hardware.
