Hi Trouble, Not true. Many Linux distributions such as Ubuntu are just as graphical as Windows. Both the KDE and Gnome desktops resembles MS Windows in a lot of ways.it is safe to say anyone who can use MS Windows can easily use a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu without too much of a learning curve. You click on Computer and it brings up a file explorer like My Computer, click on the Gnome application button on the main pannel and you get a start menu, click on home and you get your personal directories, etc. This stuff isn't rocket science. The mere fact you stated that Linux is mostly command line driven just proves my point how wofully uneducated people are about other operating systems, and they certainly haven't been keeping up to date with changes in technology outside of the Windows only world. Fact is all three of the major operating systems Linux, Windows, and Mac OS have about equal graphical user interfaces with screen readers that work with them. I do know there are some users, such as those on the speakup list, that still are die-hard Linux command line users. Do remember it is their choice to use a command line only environment, and not a technological reason. A Linux user such as myself can quite easily live without the command line for most things.
