You can't say that "this is how friendly we will become" since friendlyness |
| 8 |
(and userfriendlyness) are subjective terms. However, I totally agree if you |
| 9 |
set out that, for instance, after installing Gentoo, the average user should |
| 10 |
be able to |
| 11 |
- create and modify partition tables |
| 12 |
- configure a kernel |
| 13 |
- ... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This is not talking about friendlyness, but about end terms (cf. courses on |
| 16 |
highschools and universities). |
