Are you seriously trying to tell us that it's that simple under linux?
Well, with FC3 all I had to do was plug my scanner (HP) and it worked

I would like to reiterate my point about horses for courses at this point, there's no absolute 'better' it's about a personal choice. E.g, you think it's better for an install to happen with a double click, I personally would rather type a command. Surely there is room for both methods?
