Linux to our user base at large.

I just had to help a guy with an engineering degree change his
password over a 5 minute phone call because he can't grasp the idea of
a complex password.

that is everywhere, non-os specific

That might work but they would still open virus infected emails. Lusers- you
can't teach them anything yet you can't kill them.

I wouldn't want to kill them--they're keeping me employed. I'm sure the
majority of people here have at least once helped a desparate user who
couldn't log in because their caps lock was on. I can live with this sort of
