Guardian editorial on Raspberry Pi

"As for software, no one, no matter how bright, can flower into a
boffin without the chance to tinker around with code. Proprietary
platforms like Windows make that difficult – the bonnet is welded shut
– so the Pi will run on open-source Linux."

that seems to be the idea.

the video for that article was a bit funny. gotta admit, LXDE is a
window manager i will never use twice.

in a recent Debian install, pcmanfm needed several hours of
'customization' to get things working properly. so when i heard the
guy in the video saying of LXDE, 'it's a lot like a windows
interface,' i thought, ha ha... tell me about it.
