"For the average computer user, Linux isn't nearly as
friendly as its smiling penguin mascot suggests. But now,
proponents of the freely distributed operating system are stepping
up efforts to make it more inviting to non-geeks."
"Eazel, a Palo Alto startup, is working with volunteer
programmers around the world to give Linux a new ``graphical
shell'' -- a point-and-click interface for managing files and
folders."
"Their goal: to make the upstart OS at least as easy to use as
the Mac or Windows -- and eventually even easier."
