   I don't think Unix can be made the OS of choice for the casual user, 
   because to achieve this goal you (probably) have to distort the 
   philosophy behind it.

   I think everybody wanting to seriously learn Unix has to love computers, 
   has to have the right attitude at it and has to find the time to learn it.

I agree.

Now I just have to find a way to ignore the 99.9% of the world that
doesn't understand Unix.
