I'm sometimes puzzled about this when I consider
that most PC owners
simply
want to interact with a web browser and send
email--and perhaps do the
occasional word processing document and spreadsheet. With the current
crop
of operating systems, a staggering amount of hardware
is being thrown at
relatively few applications for the most part.
But that is the beautifulness (?) of Linux. IF you can digere it, IF you
understand it, IF you are nerdy enough to go deeper, you can rebuild the
kernal to the point that it becames a very very very light system capable of
running anything you wants on an old pentium.
But it takes time, knowledge and patience.
