I totally agree with everything in this article.  The uber geeks
aren't alone in the Linux community anymore, and they need to start
addressing the needs of new users.  In other words, its not your
private playground anymore.  I especially love this part...

> I'm sorry, but I think in 2011 we have outgrown statements like "it's not Windows" and "visit the forums for help." Providing a simple notice on the distribution websites indicating that self-installation is to be an "as is" type of deal, would provide some much needed reprieve for newbies everywhere.
