Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Background: |
4 |
|
5 |
We have many windoz and linux systems, all users use mozilla, for |
6 |
these key reasons: |
7 |
|
8 |
Easy to install on windoz or linux |
9 |
easy to upgrade |
10 |
easy to troubleshoot |
11 |
email is stored in plain ascii text |
12 |
easy for *users* to backup their bookmarks.html and email boxes |
13 |
email and browser, etc, in a single easy to manage package. |
14 |
Note: All Linux systems all use KDE-meta as I do not have time to |
15 |
customize various kde packages on variety of systems. |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
So looking at this recent, very long thread, on 'browser advice', |
19 |
(2) options stand out: |
20 |
|
21 |
<snip> |
22 |
Konqueror has come in leaps & bounds over the last few years and |
23 |
is now the best stds compliant browser than the all the rest |
24 |
(check acid test 2). Since it integrates nicely with Kmail I |
25 |
tend to use it a lot when I browse links in |
26 |
messages, or when I have already launched other KDE apps and |
27 |
the associated kdeinit and kio-slaves are already running. |
28 |
|
29 |
|
30 |
You could also try Seamonkey [1] which is closer replacement of Mozilla |
31 |
than Firefox. It is an "all-in-one" solution just like Mozilla (web |
32 |
browser, e-mail client, HTML composer, IRC client). It can be found in |
33 |
portage. |
34 |
<End/snip> |
35 |
|
36 |
So, my biggest challenge is migrating all of the bookmarks, email, |
37 |
setings and such to a new platform. Simple automation of this task |
38 |
is the key ingredient, as well as a simple restore when a user gets |
39 |
a new portable or workstation. |
40 |
|
41 |
What's the best choice for making the migration as easy as possible? |
42 |
After all, our users are frequently migrating their 'main machine' |
43 |
form one sytems to another very frequently. |
44 |
|
45 |
ideas? |
