That I understand (and calling them different religions is exactly right).
What I understand and what the "general public" understands are two
different things. Look at things from the POV of the new user who has used
windows since they started using any computer. Someone who is going to
start trying Linux because they have heard a lot about it or a friend
tells them. They will likely end up with one of the bigger distros that is
easy to install and has a good online help base... RH or Ubuntu come to
mind.... Probably not debian OTOH even though there is no real reason not
to. If things don't work right and they have to compile something to get
it working... they go back to "reading the wrong "bible"."
