"Linux is Not Windows"

I suggest many of you will find the above quite interesting at:

http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm

As an OT who has migrated from Commodore days thru CPM and
messy-dos I am in complete agreement after trying my best at
several versions of SuSE and RedHat; and a very disappointing
experience with a PC supplied with OEM Linspire linux OS that
promotes its self as a replacement for windows.

Its a bit long and wordy so have a full cup of coffee at start;
but its worth the effort|

Stay young, OldAck.

My complaint as a Linux novice would be that Linux is not DOS. :-)

I'm not familiar with the current Linux distro, but the old Unix/Linux
CLIs were much too unintuitive for me. Just about any other OS made a
lot more sense.

Mine escape to Linux started when Win95 "intuitively" pushed me into a
corner and did things on my box behind my back.
Familiarity with DOS'es (IBM,DR and MS) and WFWG (3.11) made Linux soooo
simple.
