LOL I love that line ;)
There are things in linux that it really is harder to do than in
Windows, but these things (like routing, wierd protocols like PPPoE)
are things usually done by someone who should probably spend a little
time learning anyway.
Sure linux has a learning curve, but it's a freaking computer, when did
the notion that computers had to be usable by people who didn't want to
learn anything become popular?
