This suggests another possible topic for a meeting, or series of meetings: A Newbie's Introduction to the Great Unix/Linux Flame Wars vi vs. emacs kde vs. gnome which distribution? ..... This may actually be more suitable for a beer meeting, if we could get a private room. It could be quite educational and entertaining, given good moderators. Seriously, those who are new to the Linux world have no idea what these issues are about, and why they are taken seriously. They may feel intimidated and left out when they restart, as they always do. So this is a problem we have to face, and we might as well try to do something useful with it.
