a thought regarding tommorow's event : i was thinking that maybe we should also try an additional installation method for new users. i am guessing that there will be people that will be afraid of data losses etc, and after reading an artice about phat-linux, i thought that maybe this can be optional.
the article can be found at : http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/09/23/1917204.shtml?tid=23 basicly, its a distro that runs on top of windows. did anyone ever try it? several "issues" here : 1) runs on windows 9.x , not 2k, not XP. 2) hebrew - supported ? couldnt tell... how hard will it be to implement hebrew support there ? 3) it includes some of the most basic and common applications a newcomer will look for... a quote from the article : "Phat comes with the usual programs, including Mozilla, Gnome, a CD player, office software, GNU C Compiler, an address book, IRC client and much more. It kept me busy for hours just pointing and clicking." should we suggest it to users as an option ? -- ====================================== Amir Tal Founder, Owner Whatsup, Hebrew Linux Portal Voice: +972-8-9363164 Fax: +972-8-9363164 Cell: +972-58-978979 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: www.whatsup.org.il ====================================== ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
