RE: [newbie] Linux in Thailand

[Milburn, Todd]

I have just installed LM9.1 on my system at home and have set up
accounts for my kids. This way they can learn it the same time I am...
Family time.  The way I see it, there's no time like now to get them
used to working with the future of things.  By the way, we are
home-schoolers and they will be getting plenty of exposure to Linux =:0)
They will be learning more about MS in their history class. lol

It was interesting, and it echoes something I have been saying. The 
conventional wisdom is that Linux is only for the most experienced PC 
users, and that people who are new to computers should stick to Windows.
I 
have maintained that the opposite is true now: the experienced users
will 
have problems because it isn't what they are used to, but newbies will
do fine.

Very interesting.  And it bears out what I have always held true - the 
M$ way is only 'intuitive' if you have been a M$ user.
