What's wrong with it? And what problem?
You can't possibly persuade anyone else to use Linux while you so obviously
dislike it yourself.
Hasn't even run it, apprently, or at least wrote in an earlier message "But I don't
run Linux."
Now that's it in a nutshell, isn't it. Seems to me that Mark is simply a troll
(certainly not a "debian-user")

I'm not a troll, Miles. I'm someone who started computing on IBM-360s in the
1970s, who progressed to HP3000-SPL and PDP11s and UNIX and Solaris and MS-DOS
and MS-Windows. I played with Xenix, Minix and even BE-OS. I've never
successfully installed any distribution of Linux. I don't know why, but when I
tried to read the documentation I gave up. The documentation was simultaneously
dumb and obtuse and way too wordy. So I concluded that Linux is a hobbiest OS
without much real-world use.
From your responses, it seems the situation has not changed. - Mark.
