Is there any thought to having ONLY
first-time users attempt to install and use basic
L-M setup? Maybe the kiosks of Paris?
i.e.
Install the Distro, Have printing,modem,sound,
video,internet connections all working or
find out why they didn't?
Kind of like a pre-Movie screening that is
sometimes shown in theaters which can actually
lead to changes in the main release.
I realize this is what we are supposed to be doing!
However many "average" (whatever that may mean) users,
do not have the time,inclination, or intestinal fortitude,
to whip themselves into long-night bleary eyed sessions,
trying to stay up with the latest cutting edge.
I have been trying to spread the word about
Linux and Linux-Mandrake in paticular for years but have found,
unfortuantely fairly often, even highly intelligent people,
some with advanced education levels and professionals in the use
of technology , CANNOT GET AN INSTALL OF LINUX UP
AND RUNNING AND THEN USE IT .
Even after several years of Linux use I still frequently find
myself "lost in limbo". Maybe too much Jimi Hendrix and
Janis Joplin music in the 70s :)
I am okay with that but others,even as they may desire to get away from
M$,
have a very hard time of it.
Anyhow just random thoughts here.
Keep up the great work People.
This a great distro of a great OS.
Seems that about this time of development,
the "Flames" start getting a little "Hotter" :)
