Is really clicking on a rpm file within KDE or GNOME more difficult than installing a file within Window$$$$$$ ?
Yes! In my experience as a newbie it certainly is. In Windows I never had a problem installing any program - ever. Not so in Linux. I'm trying to install gphotocollect by RPM and I have huge dependancy problems. I've lost count of the other PRMs I need but it is certainly over 20 and its not ended yet. It could all be my fault though - but that is what we are talking about isn't it - how easy it is for beginners. Installation was a breeze with SuSE 8 (dual boot), install driver for my scanner -easy. Internet, etc - no problem. But from here things are getting tricky - I can't even upgrade abiword without problems (as documented by others). I'm happy to spend time learning but many others are not. Cheers Dave
