That describes most users of computers but not many CURRENT linux users.
 As Linux is used by more 'users' it will eventually describe MOST linux
users.  Describes mac users too and Ipod/iTunes users and . . . .

My cousins for example (have been using a debian system I setup years
ago) with very few problems.  They don't care what it is.  they just
want it to work.  Right now it wont automatically mount picture
cards/usb camera.  (I'm kicking myself for not installing kubuntu before
I moved).  They'll probably be looking for a different system soon
because of that.  I'll tell them to get a Mac mini since I'm not around
to support the linux machine.
