o/s replacement...

GT I.N.C · 07-06-2002, 05:48 AM

i'm just curious, but is there any linux distro that you people out there that could possibly replace the windows o/s and mac......i don't mean in the long run, just now....eg. programs, ease of use etc. etc. To make things simpler do you think there is a distro that maybe kids could even use....without all that console stuff.....just a gui???

SuSe is supposedly all about GUI.

Oh and if you are really looking for one for your kids, you could just find a GUI (like ROK-I think that's what it's called) and strap it into any flavor of Linux. And you could be the "system admin" guy. That would be 1 way to at least monitor your kids computer use.

Mickey Mouse could use Mandrake

ha ha ha ha, Mickey! Yeah, but even Mandy has some command line. From what I have been reading about SuSe, it's all about the GUI.

Your info says you are from Scotland, does everyone on earth know about Mickey Mouse?

Oh,you still need the CLI with SuSE-been using it since 7.1 and to do anything as root you'll want it.Kids dont need it,though.
