Wall Street Journal Columnist Walt Mossberg says that Ubuntu isn't for mainstream computer users (
http://online.wsj.com/public/article..._20080912.html). He may be right, but I would like to know what his basis for comparison is. Though I can see based on his photo that Walt is decades older than I am and has had more access to more operating systems over the course of his career, I have to question his experience in installing, configuring, and using desktop operating systems. The issues he lists are genuine, but not unsolvable, and aren't materially different than the same initial configuration trouble that any user could have with any operating system on any modern computer.
