4 This is common missunderstanding of Linux which I believe is the main reason,
5 why Linux is mooving so slowly in Desktop World. The main power of Linux is
6 the fact that it provides choice. If you're an experienced user - go on open
7 vi and edit all configs manually to get most out of your system. But *don't*
8 expect this from novice users. If we want Linux to become a real alternative
9 on desktop systems we have to make it as easy to use as possible, and not
10 tell people: "Our system is very good and advanced, but you need to have at
11 least Master Degree to use it".

13 P.S. Please don't tell me that Gentoo is for Intermidiate to Advanced users -
14 I don't believe in this.
