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.

Now all we need is for distros like RedHat to bring functionality that is similar to APT to their respecive products. I already use Synaptic <http://psyche.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=1005> for my RH 8.0 box, and find its great for maintaining the packages on my system, both RH supplied and third party applications.
