So, then why is there no distribution that "just works"? I mean, pop in the CD, there are no choices during install, no choice of window manager, no choice of shell, no choice ofprogram per task, basically. It "just works" because the lack of choices lets the developers focus solely on those packages the distro comes with. Or is there such a distro? Choices with defaults don't count. They're still confusing, people often have a hard time making decisions. Because it would be too M$ish? Because what "just works" is subject to dispute? > We only need 3 little things to take over the desktop: An environment that the > user is already used to, a marketing department that can talk it way out of a sun > burn and teachers who can explain it throughly and simply. These are all much easier if there is 1 thing they focus on. Yeah, I know an OS is many parts, but if all people want is something that "just works" ... -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
