I guess it takes all kinds huh?.. Only the other day, I had a friend of a friend ask me to fix up their computer, *and* ask if they could have an alternative to Windows because they were sick of its problems. It's only the second time I've put someone onto Linux with it being their idea to avoid Windows. These days, I try to avoid getting involved in fixing people's computers, I liken it to being asked to clean out their blocked toilet with bare hands. I did try out Ubuntu, and didn't like what they'd done with Gnome either, so it's running on the fallback scheme, which works mostly like Gnome 2. You get a sanely organised menu, and applications don't share a common toolbar, and it's easier to use multiple applications at the same time. The changes did away with a menu; muddied up the difference between controlling the program you're using, or something else, with that very Mac-like common toolbar; and it was a right pain having to shovel programs out of the way to get to some way of launching another one, then trying to get back to one that was already running. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
