I find Windows often harder to use than Unix (it seems just as
fragile).

If Unix was on a machine you bought, it would be easier to use...

[I find the installation of NT or OS/2 far more difficult than slackware]

I really wonder if vendors could provide "added value" by installing
Linux on a system (they give away 10 CD-ROMS of mostly junk...what's
to say they can't also include a Linux CD with source/binaries?)

Maybe the people on this list should start to bombard the vendors
(i.e. dell, compaq, pb, ibm, hp, ti) with requests for putting Linux
as a free, extra option on machines...
