Very well said! I was brewing up a reply in the line of this one so thanks for well stated input and reassuring good views. Sometimes I really fear that the /. community is getting more and more filled up and "taken over" by bitter, scared technology faschists and small wanna-bes who think they're CS professionals and far superior to "the common user" just because they've managed to rebuild a kernel. I know, now I sound like a big snob but it's not like that. What gets me so wind up is the stupidity of trying to keep technology obscure just for the sake of it. If you're not secure enough in yourself and your abilities to handle the fact that a user with less knowledge of computers and technology than you have is able to rebuild their linux kernel then you really need to take a long, hard look at yourself.
Open Source you say? Well for goodness sake let's at least start with open and accessible OSs for all!
