We have all heard the horror stories of how GNU/Linux is difficult, if not almost impossible, as far as general desktop usability is concerned. In particular, there seems to be a continuous stream of gripes printed across the Internet, from Microsoft Windows users who wish, or have tried, to migrate to GNU/Linux, yet gave up in frustration. But what happens when complete computer newbies are introduced to GNU/Linux? By computer newbies, I am referring to those who have no computer experience whatsoever, in either a Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix or other environment.

I must agree with 1ccfGcs. What do people gain from reading 5 accounts per day about someone failing to be able to install linux no matter how hard they try. I would think that something like ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/security/advisories/NetBSD-SA2003-... (Cryptographic weaknesses in Kerberos v4 protocol) would be of more interest... but I could be wrong.
