Yeah, now we just have to figure out a way to let all those regular users who are under the incorrect assumption that they must be power users because they once downloaded/installed a <insert GNU/Linux distro here> ISO that they are in fact not power users... (Or, worse yet, someone who has been a Windows sys admin for 10 years...) Unfortunately, those who don't have the experience to decide whether they actually want a FreeRunner without that text are probably most likely to incorrectly assume they must be power users.
