It should be: maybe. Are we close? No. The day my grandmother can get over the learning curve of managing her own Gentoo box, then we're close. IMHO your grandma shouldn't get a gentoo linux, rather I'd point her towards Mandrake and drakrpm. She would be able to install e uninstall properly as well, if not even better, as on windoze I do not entirely agree with the opinion that it should be, however. I do not want Linux to be so user friendly that I can no longer use it properly (think Redhat, Mandrake, et al). Goof thing about linux is that you can choose. It exists in many falvours, it's up to you choosing the one you prefer. Using it properly, often refers to managing servers which is a differnt issue than using it as a desktop. Gentoo IMO is a distro for a power user, having to deal with compilations flags, and things like these. I still believe Linux is _not_ for everyone and will never be for everyone. There is a difference between being a Linux zealot and a Linux enthusiast. I am the latter. Perhaps it isn't already for everyone (if only hardware houses would release native drivers for all their products...) but I still think we're on the right way and soon we will have a desktop breakthrough of linux.

Re: [gentoo-user] total nautilus
Il sab, 2003-06-28 alle 14:46, Jorge Almeida ha scritto: I'm using KDE, but emerged nautilus, because konqueror doesn't allow me to arrange icons manually (and thus is totally useless for me as a file manager). Nautilus compiled successfully and looks fine. The problem is that it sort of takes over my desktops--the panel is still as it was, but desktop backgrounds and icons were substituted by the Gnome defaults! Upon quiting nautilus, things return to normal. Is this Microsoftish behavior normal, or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any enlightement. Somwhere there's an option to keep nautilus off from drawing the desktop. Unfortunately I cant' remember which one is. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Are you suggesting I make a fat32 partition and save my work to that i.e. /home/work ? If so will windows find it ok or will I have to set it up, if so how? Thanks again Paul Certainly, it would be an easy way. Windows will work with a fat32 partition smoothly, (even better than with ntfs IMHO). Then the question is: have u free space to create another partition? Otherwise it could be dangerous resizing a partition with important data inside. Regards -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
