I can't tell whether you are being cute or condescending. I have been 
running Debian since Woody so I know a thing or two about computers. I 
am looking for a distribution that I can get my friends into but if it 
doesn't work easily on my computer then I can't sell them on it. I also 
teach at high school and I want to sell my board on switching to Linux 
but if it doesn't install easily then people won't switch.

As for the mac thing that is what I tell my friends now.
