ah, on a well crafted OS, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to do what happened to 
this person. The Linux community screwed up, and should go to work at 
repairing ALL distros with this FLAW to make sure this combination can 
never happen again. You guys just lost 80,000 potential linux users by 
this single error. Fix it, don't bitch.

problem is Linux will have users that aren't poor, or uneducated, they 
EXPECT things to work like OSX or other high level OSs. Thus, you get 
posts like this from time to time. 

Linux is flawed, NEVER the user. That's a UI fact the Linux community 
just doesn't understand.
