To me it it has shown that the meaning of 'Contrib' and all its packages is not going to be sold to a newbie in a new way because Mdk is already doing the right thing. The right thing being to already know what you are going to do in a Mdk-Linux fashion.
Contrary to this I want you to visit Webmin and all its different 'setup pages'. There you will most probably find pages that containes icons for programs and tasks that are not installed on your box. In the same way a newbie will most certainly find that 'the Linux way' has hidden ways of doing things that might be of interest to a more educated user. Vedran's mail was one way of asking if it is possible to use a database of descriptions of programs, so that the user might traverse these descriptions in his way, thus not necessarily the 'right Linux way'. If you want to sell 'the Mdk way' of knowledge, then you must have a way of transporting that knowledge to the level of a newbie or Linux is just for advanced geeks. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux Cooker 9.2 kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk VERSION:20030924 21:50 Only in a society that has 'a priori' defined what is the truth can the result from the evolution of life be defined false.
