how so? more technical? I don't really think so.
we just had a guy on linux-audio-user who says he's been
familiar with unix since at least the early eighties,
and he's been a technical writer for 20 years. So you'd
think he'd be a prime candidate for getting linux up and running.
But after two weeks and 70 or so messages on the list,
not only did he not get his USB audio working, his
previously-working pcmcia modem stopped working, and then
he somehow (I've no idea how) trashed his /etc/fstab
and finally gave up and went back to windows.
Feel free to disagree, but I think adding a dependency on
a full-featured RDBMs is a step in the wrong direction.
