I think, even for the average user it is a huge hassle having to
install a totally different distribution, configure all the stuff that
is usually configured with a new OS, like mail server, network
settings, soundcard volumes, paper format, language, time, install
other missing software, configure the other missing software and
whatnot, when all that was wrong with the current distribution was a
funky new way to get realtime privileges not being available
immediately.
And I'm not even mentioning, that the average user probably is running
kernel 2.6.12.
Ciao
