So, are you saying that (in your mind) Linux is only for people who wish
to learn about the O/S?  So, it shouldn't be used by an end-user that
just wants a system to work?  An end-user that doesn't want or care what
a "colonel" is or thinks that application is what you do to deodorants? 
So, I really should tell my 86yr old dad to stop using Linux?
