And here I am, "teaching" engineering students who complain to me that this "LINUX" thing is extremely "difficult" to use!

My experience seems to show that this perceived difficulty increases with age and education. In a sort of very generalised statement, I would say that children learn these things very fast, school teachers come with a mental block but learn soon, college teachers tend to think that all these "new" things are a waste of time and "scientists" and such "highly educated" people find it extremely difficult and unnecessary to even move from using MS Office to OpenOffice. Of course this is a highly generalised statement. This is a very interesting phenomenon.
