Oh yes, one of them has still stuck with Ubuntu after I installed VLC for her. So I did :) Many don't have internet access, and apt offline is not the easiest thing in the world for them to use. And even if they *do* have, they seem to prefer something a web interface (ala download.com) rather than Synaptic (which's problem is, I think, too many packages). I've helped about 7 friends install Linux, and except 1 nobody has stuck with it (even after getting multimedia to work) Ubuntu Software Center is a step in the right direction. But the problem is, once they're bitten by a bad experience, they are extremely reluctant to try Linux again. -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
