yeah, thats a problem. I am the only computer savvy person under my roof and the others are barely computer literate. This present a problem as they would have to tell me whats on the screen and if they don't say it exactly, the meaning gets changed for me (and questions can be answered wrong). It sounds like a lack of faith on my part, but believe me, these guys are not technical and I can be very demanding about exactitude.
btw, anyone happen to know how to navigate an X session (kde or gnome) by keyboard only? Adraine knoppix has a full Xsession, but I was unable to find a way to get to the menu by anything other than having someone come it and open it with a mouse. - Eric On Sep 19, 2010, at 7:04 PM, Ariel Gold wrote: > You might try Yellow Dog Linux.
