I've done linux setups for a number of my clients - for home usage. Mostly for surfing, word processing, printing, CD burning, MP3 and DVD ripping - the gist of them are a bit older and only want that functionality, but it's basically the same - they want it to work and that's that - they don't want to install stuff and if they do, well, RPM is quite easy to deal with. I make sure they're setup fully and everything hums along the way it's supposed to. Give them some minor hands on training, and off they go. I do almost cut my throat, though, because I don't see them again for support issues. I do answer their questions via email, but mostly, their done. They don't complain, they love the stability. But once again, it's already been setup and configured and sorted out before they get the machine home - so yeah, they don't have the headaches of fighting devices or what-have-you - they just use it. If systems were "packaged" like that - almost like what you see from the department stores - with a scanner and printer and speakers and the likes, well, the "home" linux desktop would be seriously making waves - but that's to come. stephen kuhn - owner ============================== illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents ------------------------------------------------------------------ The best you get is an even break. -- Franklin Adams
