I don't disagree that if Linux users want a little more validity outside of Network Operations, Servers, and the like; there should be some sort of retard proof distribution that comes with all the bells and whistles that make it as easy as Windows. That being said; if someone labels themself with the "tech tips" moniker and he fucking destroys something, you should send a letter laughing at him, not catering to him. In the way that many Linux/OpenSQL do, because while I fucking hate everything about them when you ask for help, I'd be lying if I didn't admit to enjoying watching them rip into others.
As for this new guy... ... ... did Linus just hire one of his brothers? Put them side by side, and it wouldn't be a hard sell to convince me they're closely related.
