Excuse me, you keep talking about 'administrator' These tasks (handling
large files etc.) seem to me that are done by everyone. More to the point;
the 'next man' that grabs a linux distro is a user, no administrator in 
sight. So if you want KDE/unix to become more mainstream, you will have
to let go of the 'seperated administrator' concept.

Now you might think I argued this before with the statements of immovable 
software and the likes. I argued that the administrating of *applications*
is moved to the packager (of the distro's)
