Working with Linux on a PC 1627

Thanks for the info.

I buttume this is similar to the arrows that both XP and OS X use?

OS X does this *very* well. Much better than XP.

For me it is a very cool feature - that and the ability to move installed applications. I often download apps, play with them, and if I like them I create an alias (shortcut) to my Common Apps folder, then move the app to the Applications Folder. If I were to do this in XP not only would the links break (though sometimes they do fix themselves when you try to open the shortcut) but also the registry would have a fit and likely go belly up quite quickly. Even before that some apps just fail to work if moved.

From what I know of Linux their is nothing like the horrid registry that XP has, but I might not be able to move the installed app... or can I?

Oh, that too... often they can do things as long as they can follow steps A, B, and C. But if anything changes they get thrown for a loop. Even when the silly MS Office paper clip moves... I know users who that sends into a state of frustration and confusion.

-- If A = B and B = C, then A = C, except where void or prohibited by law.
