We're trying, Mark;
But we've got to keep productivity going at the same time. The one
thing that keeps holding us up is networked device. It can be a
printer, scanner or NAS: Linux disto administrations vary and often the
gui's made to simplify are too simple or 'near-primetime.'
Whether it's Suse's semi-finished KDE printer installer routines or
Ubuntu's "I'll protect you from yourself" school of indirect admin'ing,
after a while we just push the collective chair back and say "we'll try
again later."
But, we're trying.
