You would be surprised. Gregory Shearman has repeatedly said that he
doesn't want Linux improved because it "works for him" and he doesn't
see why it should be made easier for thickies and morons to use. I
believe Peter KÃhlmann (a Windows user) says the same since he mastered
the "ls" command in the bash shell - he thinks he's a bit of a Linux
"wizard" now and wears a "Ich bin Root" t-shirt.
