Anyway, all I really want to do is figure out how to provide a helping 
hand for
everyone. Making linux easier to install, with all the drivers already set-up
and whatnot custom for each machine, this would help push linux over the top.
So would having it do everything that windows can do, but easier, this is how
to make linux better. Linux could easily be the dominant OS. The is actually
very little momentum in the software world, especially when so many things in
the open source world are gifts of effort, freely given for the good of all.

Should everyone decide to work on a single project to 'save the world' in one
organized great social change, they would do with linux. I would hope that the
linux world is prepared for that. Such an influx of people into this system
would overwhelm your infrastructure. Constantly dealing with newcomers like me
who argue about the fine points and complain about it being
difficult..................................

Making it as simple as possible is really the only solution.
