Re: Two ways of looking at things.

I agree. There is a cultural problem in Linux that assumes everyone knows how to do various things, and that's bad. Unfortunately, I see similar things in Windows too; how many Microsoft knowledge base articles tell people how to edit registry keys when we all know the nontechnical should probably never go in there? Nevertheless, the solution to this is to tell conceited people that Mint is no less powerful than Debian is, not to demand that Debian change it's structure because there are some who find it difficult.
