Hi, I am new to this list. I have subscribed mainly because I want to become a GNU/Linux user.
I currently use MS Windows. No big surprise I guess, that is what the majority of computer users do today. I am kind of fanatic about keyboard usage. If I can not use the keyboard all the time I am really hesitant to use a program. Now I installed Ubuntu. Quite nice installation as far as I know. However when the installation was finished I was not able to do anything. I had no mouse at all on that computer. I tried Control-Esc and the Windows keys to access the start menu, but none of them worked. I would really appreciate if they do. Is there any reason that they should not work the same way as on MS Windows? Would not that attract MS Windows users? PS: This is my second try with GNU/Linux. The last time I backed off for exactly the same reason. Well, and that the dual boot that came with Ubuntu trashed my MS Windows partition. Now at the moment I happen to have an old pc to spare to test GNU/Linux. So it is kind of now or never (in some years). _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
