I don't find "yum install foo" any more difficult than clicking on setup.exe . Also, if it doesn't work I have some idea what to do in Linux. If something doesn't work as advertised in Windows I am stuck. In my view, Linux is _more_ user-friendly than Windows in a lot of ways, and less user-friendly in others. Eg I find some aspects of networking puzzling in Windows. Fedora has a long way to go, but I expect it to surpass Windows in most aspects sooner or later. Windows is a long way from the ideal system you describe. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
