Settle down Beavis, that's a TMI if I ever heard one.  :-)  This is all
well and good, but which is easier,  the apt-get command or d:\setup.exe?
If you're honest, the setup command is easier.  You don't have to know
anything to start the install other than where your new program is.  With
apt-get you have to know the apt-get switches and more importantly what the
package is called. (I'm not trying to take a shot at you I'm just stating
my opinion).

Furthermore what I'm interested in with Linux is not a server, but a
workstation.  I don't run file sharing and web servers on workstations,
that's what servers are for.  How about something useful for a general user
like Gnucash?  Or some other personal finance manager?
