Psyche is good in a lot of respects for the newbie, and the computer illiterate esp. with the "generic names". However that makes it harder for the rest of us who are set in our ways. The problem is the "hiding" of stuff to reduce complexity, and the difficulty of finding that stuff in the doco. Us experienced Linux'ers who did the hard yards finding the cool stuff, figuring out how to set it up and get it to work, end up having to do it all over again! Overall psyche is good, I just keep finding missing bits, little things that make Linux great. What ever happens, RH have to make sure they don't dumb it down, just give people a guiding hand and make it easier. Cheers.
