Unfortunately for those of us who are not are evidently in the
minority.  (I may not be a guru but certainly not a weenie) It is the
thundering horde of weenies that drive computer/os sales. Unless and
until someone provides a combination of linux that can be run by weenies
that don't want to know anything other than what button I do I push to
do blah blah a linux based distro does not have a chance generating Joe
Home User sales that might provide much revenue.

RedHat is the only distro I have ever really used for more than a week
at a time but distance it has come in the short 5 years or so since I
started dinking with it is lightyears.  I 'spect we'll get there
eventually but there is still a long way to go.
