Put yourself in his/her shoes. You're a budding young technical writer and the one word you hear popping up in almost every tech-related conversation is, you guessed it, Linux. Now look in the mirror and try to tell yourself you're more than a writer. After all, you write about technology because it not only interests you, but you're accurate and fair enough to tell it like it is. Maybe not.

Finally someone have pointed out the fact that we should not try to let Linux look and feel like Windows. Im so glad. GNU/Linux needs to be unique, to be special. I have a very big family, and they all run GNU/linux, and i'm the only computer expert. They switched, because it is NOT windows, but because Linux is Linux.. special and unique! I offered redhat 8.0, but they all said:
"Is that linux?? boomer... I thought it was special."

But it's all more an issue for the distributors. All reviews, analyses, articles.. etc, which are very boring by the way, are talking about a certain distro, not about GNU/linux. They usually refer to a company who is using linux to sell a certain product, but they call it mistakenly GNU/Linux, so please, refer to a distribution instead of GNU/Linux.

GNU/Linux is great. Most distro's are not.
