of the original applications ... and don't you guys think this will put him/her off
as it takes a little time to get used to the interface of the CLONES

The GUI of Linux, I can bet can become better than that of, M$windows.
A multitasking OS like linux, free of viruses, security, privacy
etc. included is no comparision to M$W. How many days would one take
to learn a GUI, and how many differences are there bet M$W and
XWindows. Prepare a balance sheet, then we will realize the
advantages will outweigh the disadvantages if any.
In any case, as promoters of Linux for Cybercafe, your question is
very much appropriate. We will have to address this question, and we
need to prepare a comparision of features, differences etc. Let us
keep posting, then some one will take the synopsis of all the info for
the documentation purpose.
