The date on this article is Oct 2002 but I think they have had versions
of this that pre-dated this one. It's not so silly, they might as well
offer this kind of knowledge...we all have seen people ask how to remove
lilo/grub from the boot blocks so they can install Windows again.

Let's face it, Linux isn't for everyone. There have been several times
when I am tempted to write that a particular person should be running
Windows and not Linux. The administrator that knows nothing, wants to
know nothing is better suited to use Windows. It' installs everything by
default and starts it all automatically. With Linux, it's hard to fake
the fact that you don't know what you are doing...like the guy who wrote
this morning using linux 6.2 and wanting step by step instructions on
setting up a mail server.
