It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

Clearly a troll, but ironically, the person posting this piece of flamebait picked the worst possible time. Over on Slashdot this story has just been posted:
>---------Apple: New Remote Root in Mac OS X-----------
>Cysgod writes "I've released a security advisory detailing >a new remote root vulnerability in Mac OS X 10.3, 10.2 and >possibly eariler versions." The main thrust is that it >exploits a problem in the DHCP client, to gain root >access, and turning off various services can prevent >attack. It is unclear why an exploit was made public >before Apple resolved the problem. Apple's fix is >apparently scheduled for a December release.

Sad to say, circa 2003, there is no widely used consumer computer operating system that "just works". Propaganda from Apple, Microsoft, or anyone else notwithstanding.
