Sorry, I didn't follow you, there.  If you mean about printer
configuration, then the problem applies as well to home computers, and I
just can't concede that it's a cinch.  I do run linux at work, by the
way.  (Have for years, wouldn't go back.)

Another example is X11 configuration.  If that goes worng for a newbie,
it can be a bear to fix.  Perhaps Mr. Jordan will agree.  ;)
