The majority of the time when a Noob asks a question the first thing is , "in a terminal............" At that point you have just ruined the Noob's Linux experience. Thats why when someone mentions Linux to a Noob they come back with, "That's only for nerds and geeks." That's why Linux has the reputation of being hard [ impossible ] to use. If you want to keep Linux as the secret OS available only to yourselves thats fine. But, understand that there will always be a few of us stubborn people that will figure out how to make Linux work for us in spite of you.
Now you are at a great cultural divide. There may not be a guiey way to do an action (quite possibly), and the responder may not know the/a guiey way. But linux is a system which is configured with plain "text" files. Or was as that seems to be changing.
Sometimes a simple answer IS the best way to teach someone how to use Linux.
*Usually*. It is the path that becomes complicated. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
