Maybe saying Mdk, RH, Suse type users isn't the best description. There |
30 |
is a vast range of skill levels amoung there users. Thinking back I |
31 |
used mandrake without haveing a clue of how to do anything in linux. Is |
32 |
this more the direction we are heading in. Have an easy but |
33 |
customizable setup for computers to do mainly the basics (web, mail, |
34 |
documents, multimedia, games?) in the fast gentoo way. |
