I am 12 (twelve) years experience Windows user but only 6 months using
Mandrake, and I hope Mandrake 8.2 (or 9.0 ??) will support:
1. Change screen resolution directly in X Windows, rather "Ctrl Alt +/-"
If I want to change my screen resolution, I should:
a. Go to Mandrake Control Panel
b. Access the "Desktop" then click on "Screen Resolution"
c. Click the screen resolution that I want
2. Integrated Control Panel. Any setting should be access via Control Panel.
ANY SETTING!
3. No more stupid name "xyx -123-xxxx.RPM". Just use "install.exe". Paket
name will be like this:
a. \mnt\cdrom\startoffice\install.exe
b. \mnt\cdrom\kde3.0\install.exe
c. \mnt\cdrom\koffice2.0\install.exe
Example for StarOffice:
Below is the example to install StartOffice with NEW Mandrake generation:
a. Insert cdrom, go to \mnt\cdrom\StartOffice\install.exe
b. When I access "install.exe" the installation will:
c. Automatic detect whether I already have previously program
d. If Yes, the istallation offer me upgrade. If no, just make new
installation
4. Worsktation is NOT Server!
Why you (Mandrake expert) doesn't understand this simple term? Why put any
server
capability in the Worstation?
Better (the world already proved this) if you have separate product
development for
SERVER and Workstation. So, will be Mandrake Server 3.1 and Mandrake
Workstation 9.0.
Why shoul be separate?
a. Worsktation is NOT Server!
b. The speed growth of both is different. Workstation grow faster than
Server
c. More fancy stuf in WS. Server usually SIMPLE but STABLE
d. Easy to developt STABLE and TESTED and FIELD PROVED product because we
will have
segmented user who TESTING the product. Example: a secretaty who use
KOffice never
understant the SERVER problem but she know what the LASTED problem she
found with
KOffice! (But the Net Admin doesn't know this WS problem, he do Server
control)
e. Why should I download stupid xxxx.iso 640 MB including the Server
program?
I was wasting my time to download 640 MB ISO file only for Mandrake 8.3,
I just
want to use Workstation program.
f. Easy migration from Windows to Mandrake.
As we know, the big challenge is how to prove that migration to Mandrake
is as easy
as Windows? But, I already do small survey to our Secretary,
Administration Staff and
our Finance Staff ... the result: Windows easier than Mandrake! BUT our
Net Admin say:
Mandrake is better. Hey ... our Net Admin still use MS Word to make
office report!
g. Good product mean: usually very DIFFICULT to developt but EASIER to
use!
Do you know how much time require to make Microsoft? I don't know.
h. Text VS GUI
Let the Net Admin using Text file configuration, but the Secretary
using GUI interface
to make any adjusment. I mean should be any different way to use
for make any
configuration depent on the purpose.
i. Do you think I will add RAID 5 in my Workstation. And install Apache
too? FTP Server?
j. Server is NOT Workstation!
That's not ALL, I still THINKING what I want for New Mandrake, but sorry, I
can't do the revision because I have very limited Linux knowledge. I am JUST
A USER not the CREATOR. Sorry, if my opinion TOO IDEAL???
Thanks all
