used anything else. the problem is dual boot people don't
wanna let go of garbage (windows)

hehe my mother uses gnome she likes it better then winblows
father is already a unix head
my brother prefers gcc+vim to turbo c++ IDE for his class 11
c++ progs
you are right winblows is present everywhere like a "global
variable"
but we should not let the young people get into winblows cuz if
you give tiny tots linux as there first O.S let it
be a GUI to start with he will definately like to learn
things and learn the right things faster.
when you give a kid a rich Environment. he will learn
and mature very quickly
