It's a good part for us that we've been trusting many opensource softwares for years and over. I hope we won't loose our trust for another hundreds of years. However, sometime something happens which let us think about trusting open-source deeply. last time when i got a chance to look at Mac Os x human interface guide suddenly something touched in me about Open-Source. What Mac developers thinks is, user should never confuse on what they were using. It might be pressing a button to showing a dialog box or even while configuring internet or devices. The thing Mac is trying to convince their developers that standardization is the most what lots of users want. We in the world of linux got many softwares for Different types for different purposes. We got many Desktop environments. Each and every one dealing their users in their way. Now the point is a user never uses desktop environment all the time he got. The thing is the software they got. How about standardzing applications on linux, how about getting human interface guidelines in Linux too (I know OLPC got one). what about feeling no problem in configuring internet either in (suse, debian, fedora etc). The same way in Everything. I know it's even harder to standardize Linux, because of more than 1000 of different Distros..... We can't say your are standard and you are the best. Might be we'll get such more problem in linux, we'll are sure to solve each one. presently I got another problem.... I thought Debian is one of my Choice.. better in every aspect. Last time i couldn't be able to compile my kernel in my way i used as in previous time. Later i got "make-kpkg". I found my new kernel ready to go. Sooner during booting i got problem no login ... just restarts x-server i couldn't be able to get console login, found that kernel is trying to get keystrokes and then print on console instead of giving me FULL access. Anyway not rocket science problem. I used old kernel. everthing was back. later I copied all my datas from Desktop to a 2 GiB pendrive . deleted everything from my Desktop. after burning a disc. i backed everything from pendrive to my Desktop. once again something is not good to me. Each and every file is 0 byte. The most amazing thing is the filename and properties is same beside nothing. I was not upset, even though i'd loosed everything in pendrive too. there are some of my important documents and i can't recover again. I thought it's my own fault. My fault is I believed in something. I still want to believe it more. Now i'm downloading ubuntu gusty (derived from debian). If the same cases is for you and your using Debian then what would you wanna Do? Believe me or Open-source. Still open-source softwares are best and good.. still there is something we don't like. can we start to make softwares(/linux) a standard as like W3C.. ? might be we can if we tried. regards Ujwal ( as i found debian 4.0 rc0 and debian 4.0 rc1 are not stable as it is written. Found 100% crashing in every computer i installed). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
