A very good idea. As an assembler, it was something I thought of doing
myself, but was never very confident of giving a home user a linux system
that I wasn't sure I could make `fool proof'
If we are confident that we can churn out fool proof installations, which
should not leave users wondering what's going on. They should be secure,
with the front end look af a Mac (okay I'm exagerating but still).
Thinking about all this, BeOS sounds like a good system.
(I'm not thinking clearly now, and will stop)
