Thank you very much for converting it to an open format. I have read the first part and find it written very easy to read, I liked it and will continue to read the rest. However in the first paragraph you said that someone coming from Windows will have the filling of going back in time, I don't understand why? Any time I see a Windows machine, I have a filling of going back in time, the graphical user interface of all popular distributions today is much more advanced then Windows so I do not understand why this is going back in time?
As for CLI, I think it should be rephrased (I will think how later) to show that this is a very advanced interface and people should not be afraid of it. -- Ori Idan On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 6:27 PM, Raz <razi...@gmail.com> wrote: > anyone interested odt format are uploaded to site. odt ,pdf and doc. > > On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 6:19 PM, Elazar Leibovich <elaz...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > And I totally forgot. > > It's kind of funny, but in the last OS course of the Open University > (which > > is of course taught using Linux), the student were forced to use ".doc" > > format for their "theoretical" answers! > > > > On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 6:18 PM, Elazar Leibovich <elaz...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> > >> In fact I'm having difficulties to find reviewers for my ".odt" files! > >> I'm not aware of any public service provider nor university in Israel > >> which accepts open document format in principle. > >> But I'll be glad to be proven wrong.
