By taking off, I mean that more people in 
the high street running Linux than not 
running it. Loading Win95 on an empty 
machine is easy. There is a bear trap in 
the form of TCP/IP which is put on or not 
according to some curious rule which 
only those in the Microsoft inner sanctum 
will know about. But otherwise, the 
installation is a piece of cake if driver 
discs are to hand. This is how Linux could 
be.

This is how Linux should be.
