Friday and saturday, ABUL, our LUG, participated in an exhibition, I have shown how to install and use Mandrake 9.1 to people who are only PC users, afraid by a command line and who don't understand english. They have found KDE, the default Desktop rather good and easy to use. The installation (they did not try drakconnect) was easy and they understand how to resize windows and make partitions for linux. Everything seems good except one : they don't understand what packages are useful and comply to their needs. I ask for i10n and i18n for the description of packages. A complement is to make a data base of packages by user profiles. I mean a more accurate thing that "Multimedia -> Sound and music" For example : professionnal recording studio, composer, general user... each package can belong to several usages with a class: Recommended, Alternative, Why not, Deprecated. Abstract: People want to be helped in their own language to find the software they need. -- Pierre Jarillon - http://pjarillon.free.fr/ Vice-pr�sident de l'ABUL : http://abul.org/
