I am a long-term Linux user, and I find myself agreeing with what has to be said here. Its good that the current focus of most distros are looking to attract the "non-geeky". The more users Linux gains means more input for the developer, and in the end, a stronger product and community.
I use a light weight distro (Slackware) with a light weight desktop GUI (Fluxbox) and love to have the choice to run what I want. BTW, I love this blog.
