That's why the tech admin at the hospital told the Medical Professional to just relax and go back to Windows. Linux just wasn't ready for mainstream use. She told him to go PUAR.

Oh yeah.

I have a Koraaga (or Korraga) liveCD with the Compiz desktop turned on by default. It would be a great demonstrator if it had the kind of script that Helios suggests in his entry here.

The problem being that the stores will NOT let me demonstrate Linux, will NOT even let me give the disks away. They're worried they will have to support something that a customer gets in their store, even if it's free.

Sometimes I wish I were a programmer, I'd write up a script like that myself. But I'm not.
