You're joking. First of all I am not a liar, and secondly, Ghostscript
and Ghostview are tricky to set up correctly. I know -- I've done it a
time or three. There's an arcane GUI configurator that isn't
exceptionally well designed, and once it's working it still wonks out
on maybe 1 in 10 .ps and .eps files you come across ... which is still
better than being able to view none of them, mind you. Nonetheless
there's a world of difference between the GS tools and say Adobe
Acrobat Reader in terms of setup and use; the latter you just run an
installer and then find a pdf to double-click; no other steps
necessary and it works every time. Of course, Adobe stuff is
proprietary, and acrord supports some types of evil DRM...
