How user friendly is Linux, and I mean to the average world-wide user, not a Unix experienced person? RedHat has made great strides toward ease of installation with 6.1. However you still need to be more hardware savvy than when installing windows (as long as Windows supports the hardware with its own drivers or you have the manufacturer's driver disk). As far as ease of use, you can set the machine up as a Gnome workstation or a KDE workstation and get a good graphical interface. What you do after that is another thing altogether. Doing anything else requires more than what the average or lower Windows user (like my mother) would ever be able to manage. To sum up, Linux, while making great strides, ain't nowhere near there yet.
