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.
Well, as I always say,
if we want a better world, we need better people. To make better people, you need activies which will make them better. An OS doesn't have to be perfect, but it DOES have to encourage you to always learn more.
So, yes, GNU/Linux is good for this! Now, its proven that it is a better system int his sense, and it does encourage users to learn! So, work is ahead of all of us!
