Well, gee, sorry about that.  I didn't know we were so worried.  Maybe I 
should ditchf the biker jacket so you can look more couth.

To explain my shorthand, what I meant was that they are below-average in 
technical skill, able to install software if provided with an automated 
installer, but not able to troubleshoot or correct problems.  That's what the 
survey says.

By "lusers", I mean Least Common Denominator Users - the kind I really wish 
Linux would not try to recruit.  Let Bill Gates have the bottom end of the 
cesspit.  Linux is for people who can and want to understand and control what 
their computer is doing.  Those who don't want to know should stick with 
Windows.

Another interesting observation from the SuSE survey:  A vast majority of SuSE 
users have been running Linux for less than a year.
