#9 Re: Desktop Adapted for Dad (DAD) Posted by ajt (84.12.xx.xx) on Fri 24 Nov 2006 at 21:35 It's a combination of setting the system up the way my dad wanted, and training him on how to use it rather than letting him sink or swim on his own. As I've said here and else where, when you introduce someone to Linux the distro doesn't make any difference, the support they get does. My father could be running Slackware or Linspire, he wouldn't know the difference. All he knows is I connect to it and keep it upto date, and show him how to do things when he asks. There are a few comments on the LXer covering the article and I'll direct anyone there rather than repeat myself, but part of the reason for posting this on a Debian Administration site is to say that it's the administrator that makes the difference! * http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/24131/ * http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/159 * http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/160 -- "It's Not Magic, It's Work" Adam
