That's exactly the problem. Joe Schmoe, who is only roughly computer literate and only has worked with Windows does not know HOW to make that choice. They want to be told how to do it. To me, the only distrib I've used that I can see as being mostly headache-free for an end-user would be Ubuntu. I used Redhat/Fedora before which I would not put in the same class of usability. I can't say I've used many others, but it appears Ubuntu finally got a packaging system that mostly works. Sadly, as a linux server admin, they should make it more clear that you have to turn on the 'universe' repositories if you really need the software you're installing that they don't support... Instead, they simply say they can't find it... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
