Please no flame wars...
I want to make a document like a fact sheet on Linux...
I read in ynet http://www.ynet.co.il/home/0,7340,L-926-2963739,00.html one of thier wirdest stories (based on zdnet story?), zdnet is usully pro MS...
Anyway again and again read and listen that Linux is not a user frindly and then I keep on remembering of the qoute: "Unix is user frienly, it's just picky about it's friends", but take a look at this:
http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-2964283,00.html
Microsoft enables thier user firewall without even let thier user know and act if they don't understand what they are doing.
So lets make some point of linux and make a disent paper sheet on places like Hamakor, Iglu, Whatsup.org etc..
My points:
1. Distrebution like Mandrake have more friendly installation then MS-Windows:
A. Hebrew installation interface.
B. Real instructions all the way
C. GUI way of handeling partitions.
D. Wizard for firewalls
E. Choosing what to install and what to leave out.
F. Controlling all the read needed features Graphicly, Like Resulution and color palletes, Deamons that will run when server up, Printers, and more (the rest are existed also in MS-Windows installations)
G. Ability for GUI login directly to X.
2. KDE 3.x.x, Gnome 2.x contain pure hebrew translations, can give you ability to change thier configuration as you really want them etc...
3. Support of Bi-Directional even for QT3 and pango programs...
4. The more you know the more you can get out of your system (just like MS-Windows).
5. Free Softweare some times even things that does not exists on Commercial products (take a look at DDD for example)
6. For almost any command line tool you have a gui tool (unlike ms-windows !!!)
You can add more or ignore this, but don't flame please.
Ido -- Portable, adj.: Survives system reboot.
