"...Much as a moderately competent cook can combine
simple and inexpensive ingredients to create a memorable and
healthful meal, the Linux administrator can combine inexpensive
hardware along with a free operating system and applications to
create a minor server-centric masterpiece that provides users the
necessities of computing while boosting their immunity to attack.
Ordinary users find the server-centric Linux system as easy to
use as Windows: All the difficult system administrative tasks are
handled for them by an administrator. The user simply
points-and-clicks his or her way to applications that are similar,
and often the same, as found in a Windows environment... just as
eating a freshly prepared soup is no more difficult than sucking
down salty, vitamin-depleted slop from a can.
This is why I believe Linux will conquer the enterprise desktop
before it reigns supreme on the home front. Linux server-centrism
is ideally suited to groups of people because it requires only one
person to learn some basic recipes to cook-up Linux for droves of
ordinary users who have no desire, and frankly, no need to learn
much more than how to manipulate a mouse and enter their
passwords."
