Hi debtboy,

Welcome to our forum. I'm interested in a few of your posts and great if you can share more your valuable experience in Linux.

As the poll shows and what I agree on, Linux is known for being too difficult to use and set up. The steep learning curve is scaring most users off even though the OS is freely available, and many users are not familiar with it.

Absolutely true. Oh yes, familiarity and simplicity are two separate factors, and yet they are somehow inter-related. I've such thought that a simple task (to me) can become very difficult to another user when he is not familiar with it.

Good to see if a new section for Linux in the main page (item 2 under the thread Year has passed, here's what's planned for year 2) is well developed and more how-to's in respect of Linux can be added.
