Outside of the corporate world, and very often at the low-end of that
itself, the user is the ADMIN. One can purchase computer systems with
the OS and applications pre-installed of course. But, at some point,
in every sufficiently complex and long-lived environment somebody has
to do maintenance. Which on occasion does include installing operating
systems.
And even ADMINs can use some help from time-to-time. Let us be frank,
the Linux/GNU hoge-poge of syntax makes the English language look
positively simple in comparison. And that is not a good thing.
