What I find most sad is how these discussions seem to degenerate into childish squabbles because people have different opinions.
I really like Dreamlinux but I agree the installer is counter-intuitive. I also agree it's fine once you figure it out but figuring it out is the problem.
I can relate to the levels of frustration expressed by the poster who speaks of mastering the art of telepathy. Coming from Windows, it does feel like that doesn't it?
As far South America's only worthwhile exports being coffee and bananas...ever heard of Pele?
My wife is from Brazil - apparently the most Linux-friendly nation on Earth - she is pretty amazing.
As for the snide comment about sticking to Windows because 'you don't seem to have a clue about Linux'. Isn't that exactly the point? Windows works fine for the non-techie. To get the best out of Linux you HAVE to know more technical stuff. I like and use Windows and Linux but I am an ICT technician and that is a distinct advantage.
