I just had to go help a friend install a Linux system.  He's a true
newbie, and it doesn't look like he's headed towards programming, so
when I couldn't talk him out of leaving Windows (which he's pretty good
at), I figured Linux is probably more friendly, and shoved him towards
RedHat.  I didn't want him complining that I had him on what I think of
as a programmer's system (FreeBSD, of course).

Heck with that, it's the last time I try Linux.  Their install is
nowhere near as easy as FreeBSD's, at least to him and I.  From what I
can tell, they don't even have usermode ppp at all, and getting their
kernel mode ppp working hasn't been fun.
