Can anyone cite a successful installed long-term instance of a day-to-day desktop linux system used by a non-techie? (That kept being used and didn't get replaced with Mac or Win after a while?)
Okay, I'll admit it. I don't know very many non-techies who also happen to own computers.
So it took a while to think through this one, but then I realized that two of our non-techie friends do indeed own/use exclusively Linux notebooks and prefer to leave them exactly the way they came from the store. ASUS EeePCs, of course. One for the teacher, and another for the sales dude.
Cheers
