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.

Unless you are RMS, there is simply no need to put GNU/ in front of Linux everytime you use the word.
Then use Linux without FSF/GNU software and see how far you get. Show the man a little respect, without him there would be no Linux.
We'd probably all be using Xenix!
