Newcomers != technically illiterate If it's a straight comparison, then it needs to have technical information. Imagine taking a Honda Civic brochure and a Toyota Corolla brochure, removing all technical facts such as horsepower and mileage, and then comparing them only on the marketing verbiage. You cannot do it and have it makes sense. Marketing to newcomers doesn't mean hiding away the technical details. That's what the EZLinux distros do, and we're better than that. Don't hide the gnarly greasy details. If they scare away a few newbies, they wouldn't have been happy here anyway. But those that they don't scare away should be welcomed. David
