Senior Uses Ubuntu System 14 Months Trouble Free
,----[ Quote ]
| MORAL OF THE STORY
| Properly setup and customized for an
| individualâs computing needs, Ubuntu Linux
| can be used successfully and easily by
| anyone of any age and computing ability.
| AND, the problems associated with computing
| under the Windows environment disappear.
|
| My only regret is that I did not start
| looking into and learning about Linux prior
| to 2006.

Yo momma uses Ubuntu

| Recently I replaced my motherâs PC, and I
| thought I could switch her to Linux. She
| was previously using Windows XP with
| several Open Source applications (Open
| Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc), so I
| decided to install Ubuntu 9.10, since it
| seems that itâs most devoted to non-expert
| users (sheâs over-sixty and not inclined to
| change her computing habits).

Linux is not hard, it's ignored
,----[ Quote ]
| Honestly, Linux used to be hard to use. Ten
| years ago I could regularly be found
| sweating and cursing in front an
| unresponsive PC, willing the Linux software
| on it to do something, anything to validate
| the many hours I had sunk into getting it
| to run. It was a thankless task with little
| obvious reward but it somehow made sense.
| And when something did work right it was
| like being part of a secret club; a group
| of insiders who knew something more
| important than anyone else. Which probably
| has a lot to do with the way Linux is
| perceived now.

Linux, the chicken and the egg.
,----[ Quote ]
| I think that this is an interesting
| question. Which came first, Linux or the
| device? What do you think? Is Linux
| providing the creative juices for devices?
| Are the devices conceived and Linux is the
| best choice for these devices? You tell me.
| Why are so many new gadgets from
| printers,phones, satellite boxes and just
| about everything under the sun using Linux?

Linux Mint: Making Linux easy
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux Mint 8 also simplifies the desktop
| by doing away with the dual-menubar layout
| preferred by Ubuntu in favour of a single
| menubar across the bottom of the screen.
| Mint also trims down the tripartite
| Applications/Places/System menu of Ubuntu
| and condenses this into a single Main Menu
| flyout. This adds a layer of simplicity to
| the Mint desktop and mimics the style of
| the Windows desktop, with which most users
| are familiar.
|
| Despite criticisms over its use of non-
| free software tools and its obvious
| catering for entry-level users, Linux Mint
| has clearly found its niche, regularly
| ranked among the five most popular Linux
| versions on Linux tracker Distrowatch.com.
|
| Long time Linux users probably won't be
| rushing out to try Mint Linux but for
| users looking to take a first step into
| Linux, Linux Mint 8 could be one of the
| better starting points.
