What does it matter to adults whether or not a child can install a
given distribution?
"What shall we use for the new company mail system? We could use
Debian."
"No, that won't do. Company policy is that all production systems must
be installed by 12-year-old girls."
Need I say more about attitude? That 12 year old is tommorrrows sysop !
Here I am trying to educate her that there is more than Windoze and you are closing her out of the LINUX by your own predjudices basesd on her age , her sex and the fact that she has not learned yet to get along with a distribution that is not as frienndly to use as most.
Well Done....................
