I do see your point, Gav... and I think you've probably got a point that sometimes it is unnecessarily complicated. There is room for improvement, I'll admit that.

I think the way Apple have addressed the user-friendliness of OS X is a good example to be followed. I know it's not strictly based on Linux but Free-BSD is close enough to Linux for me People talk about how easy it is to install software on a Mac, and how simple they are to use... if it can be done with OS X then surely it should be possible under Linux too.
