[Fwd: Re: Actual question]

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

Mike,

Is Fedora only for geeks or is it for "normal" people?  I think we know
what we want the answer to be, but are we there yet?  I want my wife to
use Fedora, and she's intelligent, but I'm not sure I would categorize
her as a geek, either.

I think there's a happy medium - the world isn't geeks vs. non-geeks.
But I think we can move more in the non-geek direction still...
