One of the complaints is that linux is for programmers and tech people and not for the masses cause you need someone of a technical frame to fix it cause it breaks everything. So grow up to reality. Acceptance into the wide community requires that it works out of the box for everyone and you don't need a technical person to get it to work. Get your facts straight, people of a technical nature accept it but it ain't number one. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
