Well, what he really said was that your Grandma should use Windows. That way she can spend 3 hours talking to Microsoft's tech support when she gets lonely because you're not visiting her because you're playing Everquest all the time. ;-) <rant> My personal belief is that Linux will be ready for home use when somebody figures out how to fix permissions problems. It shouldn't be this hard. I installed a DVD player recently and it didn't work. Why? Permissions on /dev/dvd. My daughter can't play games when she logs in with her login. Why? Permissions problem on /dev/dsp. Setup my mom's printer and it didn't work. Why? Permissions problem. It's ridiculous. There should be an automatic system that checks permissions, sets up a group or series of groups for access to these resources and offers to add you to the necessary group if given a root password. </rant> Brady > http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5101690.html > > Yeah, the company that in most peoples eyes IS linux (because they > don't know any better) is telling them that they should use Windows > instead. > > -- > Justin Kremer > <kremer at ringworld.org> > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
