Working with Linux on a PC 1625

8:19 AM:

Agree that it is LiveCD or that it is good I know. :)

I have not... perhaps I will. Good of you to not take my comments personally as some Linux advocates seem to. :)

Have loaded the CD. So far it is impressive, but seems to be trying to be all things to all people. Will post specifically about it later.

Sounds like you and I are now on the same page.

Many users are still learning the concept between files and folders and applications. XP does not serve them well when it has the names in different locations, as seen here in Office 2003:

I do not think that GNOME serves them well by not having the name there. In OS X, every application that is not full screen has the name in an easy to find place. It makes a difference.

I am not claiming this is a deal breaker - just something I noted and do not like.

Seems to be all but down - taking forever to load.

Thanks.

Bookmarked it for later use... thanks again.

LOL. I have looked a for a couple minutes at KDE and will offer my thoughts later when I have had more time with it.

Thanks.

Yes. Not a good thing, but it could be LiveCD related.

Well, the feature is there, so it is not a missing feature... but there does not seem to be a reason to not have it in the menu. Seems a poor way of doing something.

No doubt. I am not bothered simply because it is different, but because it is not as easy.

I do. I would like a feature where I can access the page zoom from the toolbar.

I very well may - once I am a bit more familiar with the system. Reduces the chance I send in user-error reports and not real bugs. :)

I teach intro clbuttes. I can butture you that when people have to learn multiple dialogs that you and I would figure out in literally fractions of a second some become completely stopped by it.

Most people never use X11 apps on a Mac, but the dialogs are not "correct" there, either. A non-issue for most Mac users, since they will never see those apps.

My experience with the Gnoppix and Ubuntu LiveCD's. :)

I took it as something to look at to fulfill my stated purpose. :)

I will have access to a spare HD soon to put into the box.

Thanks.
