Linspire Questions

<< < (3/8) > >>

Pathos:
From my limited knowledge I think Linspire 5.0 would be great for a homework level machine for a novice user as thats its target market. Its designed to do the basics well.

You should be able to get a trial CNR account and download all the software you need which should all install easily.

If you just need it to do stuff like that then its perfect. It won't do many games though.

If I was buying a PC for my grandparents I would install that on it, I think its probably easier to learn than windows because Linux hides things better from the user and isn't full of crap all over the place.

MarathoN:
I still wouldn't say Linspire is a good starting point for a new Linux user.

If you learn a few commands, you'll figure things out pretty easily, that's how I got started. :)

I still only know very few commands, but I can do exactly what I want in Linux. ;)

Kintaro:
After using Ubuntu, I no longer want new Linux users, or an easy Linux. I hate things Easy, it just means more gets fucked up.

If your a man get Slackware, Debian, or at least Fedora. If your a fucking piss weak white trash motherfucker with a heroin addiction, use Linspire, Ubuntu, Mandriva, etc.

Agreed.

We need no more IT-handicapped plug-n-pray degenerates into our scene. We need skilled people, like solo and hi's Komodo team, to make some new revolutionary GNU/Linux applications.

Kintaro:
Yeah, Linux is for hackers, not jack-arses.
