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? |
