You're saying apt-get isn't a suitable tool for girls?
Nick.
Maybe I am selling him short, but his younger brother (only 4) will be
joining the ranks soon, and I think he will still need a nice gui with
pictures, so the problem remains.
Thanks for your input though.
Just on a side note, when I stopped to think about it, its quite
interesting that a 6 year old can jump straight in and find software and
install it independently (one day I came home and he had installed about
8 new games), but a lot of adults, some in the university I work at,
cant make the move to linux because its harder to install software than
Windows!?!? If my son had to google for software, navigate to the
appropriate website, download the software, navigate to the download and
double click, next next next, he would not be installing much at all.
Old dog, new tricks perhaps?
