Not long ago I had the opportunity to show off GNU/Linux to a friend. She&#8217;s been a lifelong Windows users and is just your average, non-technical computer user. She&#8217;d heard of this thing called “Linux,” but had never seen a Linux distro in use. So, I gladly booted up my laptop and also the desktop (we were at my house, my wife and I having one of our many cookouts) and showed her Linux Mint 7 via a live CD and also Ubuntu 8.10, which is installed on my family&#8217;s desktop.

Everything was going fine as I showed her the office software and some games. It was when I went to show her selective screenshot that I erred. I opened the command line on the desktop and quickly set it up to take the shot. I could see my friend visibly shrink back as she shook her head and started to say she couldn&#8217;t work with something like that. I honestly don&#8217;t know what I was thinking. I guess I wasn&#8217;t thinking, and that was the problem.
