* Anders Johansson (andjoh@rydsbo.net) [021108 12:12]: ->Absolutely. I clearly stated "for use by newbies". People who know better (or ->should) can use what they like, that's on no concern to me. But windows ->people who decide to try linux do not need to be exposed to things like that ->first thing. At the bottom of the learning curve they need to have tools that ->just work. And - at least mostly - that's true for SuSE's tools. Apt does just work. But if someone doesn't read "How it works" and just installs the software then fires it off to update the system, remove something or install a pkg..without knowing WTF their doing. I have absolutely no sympathy for them. I view it much the same way that if someone buy's a rifle and doesn't get lessons on how to use the weapon then shoots a toe off..they can't blame the gun maker..they blame themselves. If someone does something without having clue one on how that thing works is just not showing much intelligence. It's very disheartening that we praise and reward laziness with tools that make us more lazy. I'm not saying that users should spend every moment reading documentation in constant tweak mode when it comes to their computers, but damn if someone is going to use software or any other product they should at least have a some knowledge and be able to read the screen when the program says " The following package will be removed. Y/n?" If they aren't sure that these things should be removed then n is the right answer until they know what it is that's going on. *shrug* -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
