the linux frat. (Score 2)

i guess to be able to use linux you have to go thu some painfull initiation. thats just as silly running naked accross campus just to get into a fraternaty.

I enchurage people that are interested to try linux, but at the same time WARN them about it's steep learning curve, and give them good places to find info. the fact that people want to learn is a good thing. clueless people shouldn't be labled and people assumed that they suck and can't learn and therfor can't break themselves from their clueless caste. i see linux as the best learning platform out there. the main problem is the scattering of info. it takes more time just finding info than it does to read and learn. this is why new users resort to prematurly posting to mailing list. i think the linux doc. project is a great source but it's still young.

slamming RH because it install easy is silly as well. having multiple distro's, each geared toward different groups is great. this is accomlishing what M$ has been trying to do for years,the same OS with different flavors.

anyway its good to see that the general consencous is that the article is silly
