Hello, Background:
We have many windoz and linux systems, all users use mozilla, for these key reasons: Easy to install on windoz or linux easy to upgrade easy to troubleshoot email is stored in plain ascii text easy for *users* to backup their bookmarks.html and email boxes email and browser, etc, in a single easy to manage package. Note: All Linux systems all use KDE-meta as I do not have time to customize various kde packages on variety of systems. So looking at this recent, very long thread, on 'browser advice', (2) options stand out: <snip> Konqueror has come in leaps & bounds over the last few years and is now the best stds compliant browser than the all the rest (check acid test 2). Since it integrates nicely with Kmail I tend to use it a lot when I browse links in messages, or when I have already launched other KDE apps and the associated kdeinit and kio-slaves are already running. You could also try Seamonkey [1] which is closer replacement of Mozilla than Firefox. It is an "all-in-one" solution just like Mozilla (web browser, e-mail client, HTML composer, IRC client). It can be found in portage. <end/snip> So, my biggest challenge is migrating all of the bookmarks, email, setings and such to a new platform. Simple automation of this task is the key ingredient, as well as a simple restore when a user gets a new portable or workstation. What's the best choice for making the migration as easy as possible? After all, our users are frequently migrating their 'main machine' form one sytems to another very frequently. ideas? James -- [email protected] mailing list
