This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

From the original article "Migrating to Linux not easy" by Tso Do Nimh :
Distro : Mandrake 9.0
GUI : Yes
Printer : Worked well
Modem : Worked well
CD burning: Worked well
Notes : Modem setup doesn't properly identify Net connection when connected
---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
Mandrake 9.0 apparently worked almost flawlessly on your system, by your criteria, so, what made this distro inadequate? Did you find that the "Modem setup doesn't identify Net connection when connected" error (which seems rather minor IMHO) was a show-stopper for you, or did something else happen to make you give up on Mandrake 9.0?
I'm curious, because Windows seems filled with numerous errors at least as bad as this one. For instance, the fact that you *stop* your computer using the "Start" button.
