Debian and its clones 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.

These newbies would've been much happier with XP. Why waste time using Linux when XP and even MacOS X are so far ahead? The world would be a better place if Linus had cloned Windows instead Unix... Unix is 30 year old technology.
