I haven't met an RPM-based system that felt "normal" to me, yet. So I'm hoping MeeGo works out. I still haven't spent much time looking around the Moblin I setup on my Netbook just to see it.

But I tend to do more on my system than click on buttons.. which puts me into the minority and makes me not the target market when dealing with mobile platforms.

(Keep in mind that I say it's not "normal" doesn't mean an Ubuntu admin can't stumble his way around an RPM system - most the commands are still there - it's just not.. right. Hard to explain.)
I agree completely, I've been using linux for over ten years now - and I am definitely NOT a normal user.
And I get what you mean about being not "normal" - but try using AIX! ;-)
