"This is a friendly sort of Linux you can put on your home computers without having a geek at your house."
Doesn't this perpetuate the notion is that Linux is for geeks and anyone can use a computer (wirh Windows or openSUSE 11.0) safely without learning the basics? This is the very notion that has created a horde of computer users who are victims of viruses and email scams.
