As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising
Lindows 4.0.
>> I think there is a need to be able to let users install apps in their home directories, and this should be allowable by the system administrator. I think Red-carpet provides this sort of facility, but I haven't used it, being both the admin and the user of my machine. <<
Right! And does Red Carpet really provide this? How?
