@siarad - could you explain your background in using desktop Linux? Why is it that you make such a baseless, unqualified comment? Have you even tried GNU/Linux within the last two years? Click & Load? Are you referring to the installation of the OS, or software, or both? Because in either case, installing Linux, and software is mostly very easy. For example, to install Ubuntu - this is a mere 5/6 step "click-through" process, and it can even be installed inside Windows. As for installing software, it's as easy as clicking Applications>Ubuntu Software Center>double click an application from a finely categorized list (e.g., Games), then click install. And with getdeb.net, it's a single click on the applications that you like to install them.
A degree in computing to use Linux? I'm here to tell ya, it's so much easier than that. In fact I've seen some nasty problems while installing software in Windows that has been more difficult than a degree in computing could fix. As for different versions of Linux - this is diversity - it's a good thing! No one said you had to use all the versions at once for yourself. Pick one you like, and stick with it... That's the point.
