Non-technical end-users have always and will always find Unix's profusion of options and interface styles overwhelming, and for as long as they have the option, will always retreat to systems that at least PRETEND to offer then simplicity.
This disadvantage to end-users is however a plus to the technical users...hence your observation eZRA. "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly" Henry Spencer On Sat, 18 Jun 2005, joachim Gwoke wrote:
i just read that lengthy thread with the pc users at home; parents,cousins(teens) and all. granted this 'linux thing'(as they call it), i told them is what runs most of the the net and networks around. their question; can we use the mouse and such in it? or put in another way? is the gui easy to use? my answer,yes and no. they suggested linux should stay in the 'engine room' and that the'd rather use windows as home users or lightend users. do any of you guys ever think of that? serverside linux or unix-like system, then the desktop for windows. could i get your opinions here? ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!
