This is why I was so interested in getting a PIII-600Mhz to run OpenOffice.org 2.0. I installed Debian Etch using the netinst CD.
I asked around on another forum I'm on and got the following list of things a Linux system should do to get the average user interested:
web browsing instant messaging Email Video and multimedia
Also, has anyone looked into the GIMPShop? I understand it is a little easier for PhotoShop users to get the hang of the GIMP by using GIMPShop.

The closest thing to MS-bashing we should do is to show them that they can take older hardware that has no PRAYER of running Vista, and get a nice, usable Linux desktop, complete with Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, GIMP, and other fine tools that can make them productive without having to pay more for hardware that can run the expensive software.
