But part of this problem is that users get too much information that they
don't understand, so they are getting used to ignore it. What you have to do
to make the system easier to use is reduce the amount of information and make
it easier to understand. The boot messages of the kernel are certainly much
more than a regular user needs (and I am speaking those people who are
currently using Windows or Macs, not Linux) and not very helpful for them.
