If you can do that shouldn't Fedora 19 Linux let the user double-click on a shell script in its File-Manager to execute it? It seems Ubuntu does.. I've been using Fedora since a friend sent me a copy of Fedora Core 2. I've tried many other Linux distros but none, so far, came as close to meeting my needs. So I can live without the double-clicking. If you can't, you're free to choose another Linux, there are hundreds to choose from.
