Huh? What have you tried? Embedded distros with BusyBox only? What was the last installation you tried? Maybe you should get away from Ubuntu and it's quirks, then you would realize that there are way fewer issues with Linux on the desktop than you think. Btw, - "If Apple can 'hide' the Unix commands and text shell behind its own graphical interface, why can't the GNU/Linux guys do the same?" what sense makes this? And why should we do it? If you like shiny expensive toys with high WAF and simplicity, buy Apple. I like my xterminal+bash, thank you. (KDE >=4.1 & IceBox too).
This thread is failure, i agree. Almost everything i'm reading here convinces me even more that, besides the likes of RB and some other guys who had proven, most of you actually act like just a little bit beyond 'power users'. 
So, back for testing the new IDS 3.80 driver...
