We don't need another distro for the average Linux user, all that does
is take market share from the others.
What we do need is a distro that the new user can use without a lot of
grief and that will satisfy "average linux users" and beyond.
That way, we can expand the market. There are lots more people not using
Linux than are using Linux; 10% of them switching to Ubuntu would make
Ubuntu the biggest distro by users.
