[CVALE] Installer for Linux

[Dennis Baker]

Why do you hate Macintosh?  Seems a silly waste of emotion.  Macintosh has a
lot of things going for it (now with OSX),  I'll admit the whole dockbar
thing is kind of weak (but prettier) compared to say the Gnome panel.  But
other than that their GUI is nice,  it's highly stable.  Installing and
removing programs is gravy (literally drag and drop for both install and
uninstall).  The hardware is slick (but hard to work on and upgrade),  and
now with the new Intel CPUs the price/ performance point isn't even that
bad.

I'm preferencial to Linux as well but recommend Macs to almost anyone I know
who is buying a computer because I think Macs are the one computer that the
average Joe (or Jane) can manage without turning in to a total mess (Windows
anyone?).
