| But I don't want to bore you any further

| everywhere to everyone and all the time in

| problems occur in Linux just as well, at
| least the people you talk to about them
| don't treat you like an idiot but really
| know their stuff.

Semantics is Restricting Linux Desktop Adaptation
,----[ Quote ]
| I started getting emails from her,
| complaining that she couldn't "download"
| anything. Remember that to the Windows
| user, "download" and "Install" have some
| pretty blurred lines. The "run" option
| once the download is completed usually
| keeps the user in the dark as to where the
| actual download landed. They most times
| don't touch the EXE file...Windows does
| that for them.
|
| Bless their hearts.
|
| So I explained to her that Linux handled
| the installation of software differently.
| I took over an hour to "familiarize" her
| with her desktop and the functions therein.

More Moving Thoughts: Adding to Rikki Kite's blog entry
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week my colleague Rikki Kite wrote a
| good blog entry on how to gracefully
| introduce a person to Linux. She pointed
| out that just telling a person to âmove to
| Linuxâ is not enough, and that most people
| will âget lost in the moveâ. She used an
| analogy of moving a friend to a new house.

|
| You might also introduce them to their
| local âLinux users groupâ that may have
| meetings in their area, so after a while
| these people can also become âmentorsâ to
| the user user.
