Hello,
On a conversation about user friendliness of OS, Srihari replied: "I have a point to make: User friendliness is about how comfortable the user is with the computer he/she is using.So every one will need his computer tuned to his own tastes.So is it not better that one chooses a distro that will mostly suite his computer usage(coarse tuning).Spend some time with the distro get familiar with it..change what you dont like and add what you like completely based on YOUR like and dislike(fine tune).And this fine tuning may include tweaking and may be automating your regular tasks you do.And when you have such a computer completely tuned to your tastes you will definitely be fast and productive. I am ready to help you..sad to hear that your computer's unfriendliness is effecting your productivity. ----------------------- Thankyou Srihari, Which are the most customisable distros? [all distros under GNU GPL shud be customisable, the question shud be interpreted as: which is the distro which comes with certain** set of utilities and degree of customisability inbuilt.] "Customisable" as used here, is not only OS tweaking, but readily allowing installation of proven softwares. On a previous discussion "which is the lazy man's Linux distro," these came up : *Mandriva, Mint, SchoolsOS, ArtistX, Open Suse*. As tested repositories are available over many DVDs, *ubuntu* shud also be considered(?). Can somebody comment on the above distros? their licensing reputations, user base and software availability / compatibility? certain** set of utilities: best quality softwares avilablein all sectors, (we are *not* considering low system resources or the size of Distro/repository media, at the moment) -- #//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////# "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" Leonardo da Vinci #//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////# -- "Freedom is the only law".
