I think there's some value in consistent language, and it is a little confusing when you switch distros and find that a simple terminal is in a different location (system tools instead of accessories) or has a different name (terminal, LXterminal).
I don't think the new user is our target audience. Sure we may attract some, and openSUSE is certainly user friendly enough to be manageable for many, but the things that make a distribution a 'no brainer' for new users aren't always helpful for more experienced users. That's a different discussion of course.... Sometimes a 'simpler' language can be irritating and even vague - there's no doubt about what 'laptop' means (we can always google it) but 'a computer with screen and keyboard included' could maybe mean one of those all-in-ones with a keyboard included in the package, like an iMac. The important thing is to be consistent and clear. When talking to a specific audience, add explanations when appropriate. Now it's time for me to consume some fermented apple juice and watch pyrotechnic displays in observation of the commencement of a new solar cycle on the Gregorian calendar. :) Happy New Year everyone :) Helen >> A power user may once become a geek, but is definitively not at the >> beginning. >> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscr...@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+h...@opensuse.org
