For years and years I've wasted time in the classroom with Algebra, a skill I will _never_ need in my lifetime. As a computer science major, I find it perfectly equatable to make my math teacher sit through the same amount of time in some of my major-specific classes, since he will get just as much value out of them. Not to mention I have to pay for it.... difficult or not, most math classes simply are not useful. This differs from other "general" classes, such as English.

The stage wasn't set a few years ago, even using Ubuntu was too high-level for many people, since it inevitably required at least a bit of command-line usage. I expect linux will continue to get more popular as the medium level of computer users decreases.
