Things that should be easy aren't as easy as they can be

[Alon Swartz]

The largest Linux distributions have over 20,000 packages in their repositories, but it still takes considerable skill and effort to cherry pick the right components and glue them together into a compelling solution that is more than the sum of its parts.

Capturing the value of these integrated solutions in well engineered, thoroughly tested opensource appliances will drive Linux adoption rates ever higher and empower experts and non-experts alike to do more.

What happens:
    - You want to try out or install a Linux based solution and you feel its not as easy as it should be.
    - There is too much hassle involved.

What should happen:
    - You discover that a few turnkey appliances already exist for the job you want done, you download them, try them live, and after finding the right one, you roll out a preintegrated solution into a real or virtual machine with just a click of a button.
    - That was easy!
