We're not talking about installing it and configuring it. We're talking about ease of use. My Dad is doing great with it. No need to keep putting caveats.. "oh well, what if it didnt have a network card and he had to find one".. "oh, what if..".. ease of use. Give my Dad a copy of MorphOS and have him use it, he'd be lost. Same with a Mac. Its not about installing it yourself, just ease of use. Some people try to go beyond their capabilities, get lost, screw something up and give up. After that they blame it on the big bad OS and its high IQ requirements. Its ok for some people to have a easy to use baby interface, no need to be a power user.
The nice thing of Linux is that it can be nice, easy and pretty mighty. But it also can be a real nasty system. There's hardly "a Linux", there are plenty distros/versions/configurations that work better or worse.
But i guess we all agree (except one certain poster) that Linux is one thing and MorphOS another. Where would the fun or sense if MorphOS became YALD?

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
