It's almost arrogant, I think. Can't you come down from your knowledge throne and try to think about people who just would like to use their computer without much hassle (just like getting into a car and drive it, without first having to tune its engine and other parts).
I think HG made a valid point. Look at the various threads in this list from newbies who are desparate and lost how to get for instance their DVD working. Yes, for you (and me) it is quite simple because we know what actions we must take in advance to gets things working ( see analogy with the car), but have you forgotten the first time when you (probably) also had to search and inquire before you had things going ? Again, I agree with HG that this phenomenon really prohibits a lot of people from going to Linux. As it is right now it is a great system for people who have a fairly good knowledge of its workings and who like to search around and complete/expand its functionality system by finding the missing pieces of the Linux jigsaw puzzle. But maybe the community wants to keep it like that ?????
