In the
previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.
A very nice article indeed. The thing about not having more than a few windows open at once nearly made me fall out of my chair laughing.
I have to say, while it can sometimes be a pain during the install, Debain and it's derivatives are a dream to maintain in my experience.
