actually, I did mean that... I'm no longer a proponent of 'linux for the
masses'.  Linux, like all other UNIX, is for people who like to use
computers simply for the sake of doing so.  And it's also for servers.
It's not for your 6-year-old's PC in his bedroom.

It probably will be (Linux at least) with the current movements being put
forth by Redhat, Caldera, Corel, and TL (hey, that even rhymes), but I
don't really approve.

Basically I just don't want Linux being used by the same people who like
Leonardo DiCaprio, ok?? :)
