I think the masses are confused about "which" Linux to buy. No really knows what Linux is except there are names such as Ubuntu, SuSE, Redhat and such out there. Once you talk to people about Linux - they don't even understand that Linux has absolutely "No" GUI so now they have to make a decision - what GUI to buy. Oh - I'm sorry, what is a GUI? Yes the masses do ask these questions. Until the masses understand to go buy KDE or GNOME "Desktop" they are "NEVER" going to understand a "kernel". They don't understand "GUI" -- let alone a "KERNEL". Everyone understands Mac is a GUI (Windowed Desktop) and everyone understands that Microsoft is a Desktop (Windows) but, NO ONE understands what the heck a "KERNEL" is...OR why it is being compared as a "Desktop Windowing System". Are you kidding me? What is Linux. A kernel? I do haircuts - what is a GUI? What is a Kernel? Oh - it looks like "WINDOWS"! Okay - I understand that. Windows - of course.
