this just doesn't make sense to me.  the new user, wanting to use Linux
for their desktop OS, doesn't want to have to muck around with priveleges
and the like.  yes, that's a linux issue of course i know that - but
that's the very attitude that's keeping the new users away from Linux in
the first place.  

no matter how close and dear Linux is to those using it - you gotta make
it simple if you want to entise new users.  and there is absolutely
nothing wrong with that philosophy.
