What are the DISADVANTAGES?

• Flexibility can be intimidating:
• Complex installation - no "turnkey", minimal PnP (yet).
• Some vendors won't pre-install onto a new computer.
• Many command options (but you can use a GUI instead).
• Never designed to be user-friendly (written by programmers for programmers).
• Significant learning curve moving from another OS:
• User must learn new commands and vocabulary.
• Different "look and feel" for both OS and some applications.
• Case-sensitive names.
• Fewer consumer-oriented applications, at least so far. Emulators for Win31, Win32, Amiga, Mac, etc. do allow many other programs to run under Linux.
