Oh boy oh boy a Lincoln toy
 

Well the pureists (I am one when it someone else's dime) may not like
clark connect with many services including firewall on one machine, but
it is neat and it is proving even a MS Win guy like me can make a well
configured linux system work out of the box. It is neat, risky but for
my use thats not an issue.

Linux is all about choice. ClarkConnect is just one of the myriad choices
available to you with Linux. Plenty of room in the marketplace for all of
them, because the cost of operating in the marketplace with open-source
software is so low. Basic free-market economics in action--be glad for it!

If other Linux based packages where this easy for a MS Win guy to adapt
to MS would have some serious up coming competition

http://www.smeserver.org/ is another preconfigured distro that you might
find useful even with a Windows centric world view :-)

It seems you think that Linux's development has stopped. It has not.

That is a fact, but another fact is that some applications are way
better developed than others.
