Hi.
The major problem I have with windows vista is that it's slow.

Hi Shaun,
Yes, Ubuntu is light years better than grml. It has been rated Linux
users choice of the year twice in a row by PC Magazine and Linux World.
it also happens to have the greatest accessibility features out of the
box. Including an all new talking installation which rocks.
Anyway, I hate
yeah I recon tom.
When I did my course in linux I learned the command line, but spent 7 weeks
doodling wat at software only to ind a few months after the course that grml
was more accessible.
And last year that ubuntu was even better.
Grrr.
So I know sort of what I am doing but not really I spen
Hmm Yeah.
I feel sorry for those that are forced into it though tom.

will be forced to upgrade the os, Unless we get it of ebay, and evn then when
that dries up.
Laptops will not have all the stuff.
Which is why I pushed
Hi all!
I don't know if some messages of this thread are not off-topic, but
according to the subject and Thomas's messages this thread seems to be
definitively off-topic, and off-topic discussion is against the list
guidelines. Sorry if I'm too strict or something, I am just new on this

Hi Shaun,
One of the major problems Linux has is getting everything properly
documented. Most of the documentation is written by volunteers who try
to document the programs the best they can. As a result you get some
documentation that is professional quality, and you end up with a
certain amou
hi Shaun,
As I said in my last post all of the new Vista specific features can be
turned off. You can turn Vista into a glorified version of XP. However,
my advice is don't upgrade. If you are going to turn all of the Vista
specific stuff off then there is absolutely no reason at all to upgrade.
The address you gave

Hi Shaun,
All of the Vista specific features can be turned off. The new start
menu, 3d desktop, new animated icons, user account control, etc can be
turned off in Vista.
However, I usually leave most of it turned on because it does not effect
accessability, and I can relate to sighted people who
well tom a linux guide would be good, so would a vista guide.
I mean I have read manuals and other opinionated junk from place to place but I
never have got really into it all that much.

hmm maybe you could do a vista guide or something tom, unless mike has vista.
At any rate you can have the old style menus I think in vista which even though
its backward in productivity is what I will do if and when I get vista, same
goes for security, even if I have to get some weird alegal cra
Hi Aiden,
Actually, there is a lot more accessible games out there for Linux than
you probably think. It is true that you aren't going to find something
like GMA Tank commander, Shades of Doom, or Topspeed, but there are
games that you can play in Linux.
For example, using the text based telnet
if possible.

As far as continuing the kind of work you have started I have been

write up a authoritative gui

Hi Michael,
I've just read through the first section of the guide and so far pretty
good. However, I do have one suggestion. At some point you might want to
update your guide for new Windows vista users. One thing I noticed is
your description of the start menu was the Windows XP start menu, whi
Sounds great!
I have a few friends I know will benifit with this.
I know you put a lot of time and effort into the project.
