Linux Distro "User Levels"

,----[ Quote ]
| There are some distros that even go too far in trying to make a 
| distro "newbie" friendly and in the interest of making a few things super 
| easy to find or do, actually remove some of the capability or productiveness 
| overall. That isn't productive either.

Sounds like OS X.

[Tongue in Cheek:] Messiness is better

| Had KDE not removed the problem, I could have set up Xfce. Had Xfce not
| solved the problem, I could turned to IceWM, Blackbox, Fluxbox, Afterstep or
| any of a couple of dozen other desktops or window manager.
|
| By contrast, had we been running Windows, she would have had to endure the
| problem, because only one desktop would be available for her (or perhaps I
| would have had to re-install). But, under GNU/Linux, I had an immediate
| choice of workarounds – and all because free software isn’t so rigidly
| organized that it has only one of everything. The redundancy that people love
| to decry makes an emergency far less urgent, so I, for one, hope that no
| distribution every tries to do much tidying.
