This wasn't a flame ware, but just a frank exchange of views. Btw. I read all mails and I also started with computers pre internet age. I'm from generation QL, resp. C64, Atari ST and my first PC was a 80286 8MHz hardware emulator for the Atari ST. I don't agree that it was harder to set up a system in that time. It wasn't better, it wasn't more worth, just different. People get in contact without the internet, even lone wolfs were able to get those contacts. An advantage of contact without the internet is actuality, direct exchange of knowhow, no outdated sites, no reading and misunderstanding, no flamewars. No doubt about it, the internet sometimes makes things easier, also for people using other search engines than the famous one, that does political censorship and collecting data. In general I do agree that Linux is easy to install and to set up for averaged needs by using one of the famous distros, if people don't have adverse hardware. I don't agree that KDE is hard to set up, while e17 is easy to set up. KDE is the most user-friendly DE I know, even if lower resolutions might cause trouble, I don't have any trouble with 1024x768, also an outdated resolution that isn't fine with all Linux applications, because some coders don't use scroll bars. Just yesterday I compiled Phasex, seemingly a good virtual synth, that comes with a window that don't allow me to access all functions. I like it, that you take care of lower resolutions. I'm thinking of setting up a server, I only need a case for some hardware I've got. Because of a lack of space I still keep an old 14" monitor that is able to do 1024x768, but it's more pleasant to use it at 800x600.
