Working with Linux on a PC 1619

Could be... and that could affect not only this but some of my other observations. Thanks.

I looked for a config, but could not find it. Does not mean it does not exist...

No doubt... and presumably not one that is seen in all distros... I would bet I would not have been the first to find it. :)

OK... so this should be corrected-improved in the not too distant future... good to know.

I can understand both sides of that issue... but how about icons changing as items are dragged over them - changing in ways other than shading.

I did notice that when I mouse over icons they get highlighted... this is done well, at least from my opinion.

Perhaps I shall do that.

No! Not at all... this is paramount to the functioning of the computer!

Um, or not. :)

Seems that Linux is designed for folks who tinker...

I thought you said it worked very well. :)

At some point I shall have to play with it...

Why? Who would disagree with this?

I can share my printer in other ways. If I were setting up a HD installed version I would play with that more... probably not an issue for most of my students clients.

Yes, I noticed that. One thing I did not find was the *trash* on Gnoppix. I thought that was strange. Could not even add it to the panels.

Any distros that come with all GNOME programs?

Neither fits with the OS X look, but neither is common, either - at least not for non-techy users.

Of course, people on OS X tend to use commercial, and often expensive, programs to fill those needs. There is something to be said for free!

-- Look, this is silly. It's not an argument, it's an armor plated walrus with walnut paneling and an all leather interior.
