anyone can post here. doen't mean they will be moderated up. There are some people that do like MS products. (I use them but don't like them) Furthermore, I have yet to see a linux distro in which there is absolutely no need for admin work involving the command line. Some people (such as I) don't mind the presence of a command line but don't want to be forced to use it. For example I gave up trying to use linux on my pc because I simply couldn't get some things working with a resonable ammount of effort. The clincher was that I simply couldn't get it to work properly with some of my hardware, including vid card ethernet and sound. Tulip was simply an nightmare. X caused significant loss of hair and simply forget sound.
