These words of wisdom came from Mike Focke (fockem@wangfed.com):

: >It also is almost as easy to install as Windows '95. Installing Linux is 
: >as easy as:

<snip>

: Pardon me but when I installed WIN 95 (or NT for that matter),
: I had to do nothing which required me to know commands, how to navigate
: the Internet, not even to have a computer.
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Installing an OS without a computer..? - That's clever... 

How do you do it? - I'm sure we'd all like to know... :)

<snip>

: It's easy to forget that not everyone is as technology litterate as you and
: your roommate might be. And an OS that is designed for the technically challenged 
: might have to be designed and distributed a bit differently than one that appeals
: to the already knowledged.

If you don't know enough about how it works to know hwo to use it
properly, then what are you doing using it?

Similarly, if you do not know at a basic level how it works, then you
cannot know exactly what it does, and therefore wether or not it is the
most appropriate product for your needs.
