Now, I understand more clearly the topic of the discussion.
we even should have to define "software".
I want to be clear. We don't have to do so with avery bit of text we have on the wiki, of course. We only have to provide:
* *at least one* page with very low level info regarding openSUSE (including seek for help or we are not for you :-(). On the main page of my LUG (http://www.culte.org/) I have a big title "Je n'y comprends rien" (I don't understand a bit") aimed to such people. We have at least to be friendly to such people. If they wonder to read our doc, may be once they may become members :-))
Yes, having something like that surely makes sense. A page explaining software, operating systems, Free Software, linux, openSUSE... Probably can be largely copy-pasted (with attribution) from wikipedia. In the interest of "DO, not TALK" I created an Etherpad page to write a "I am new to Linux" page on the openSUSE homepage. I have created a skeleton and copy-pasted info from wikipedia and the FSF page. Someone needs to check if we can copy-paste from the FSF site ;-) http://ietherpad.com/HGnVPSDjFD And help is welcome!
* if it's easy (it looks like), have some openSUSE version usable for them. Not that should be shown as a big progress, all the contrary, but a way to say: if you can"t cope with the regular ope,nSUSE, may be this one can be usefull.
For example, have a live cd with "xinit firefox -- :1 &" as only available starting choice. Many people will think it's enough :-))
