Ubuntu 10.04 to Include Beginner's Manual
Ubuntu 10.04 to Include Beginner's Manual
http://lifehacker.com/5441494/ubuntu...ginners-manual Finally, someone decided to create something like a help file for newbies! If this continues to be expended, it might actually give me a reason to try Ubuntu for myself one day. Until I can recommend it to my friends and relatives for everyday use, because I have to fix their user-created problems, there's no reason to check it out. Before anyone flames this message, remember, this is an *alt* group, *not* a support group. ;-P -- What if I'm a figment of my own imagination?

Anyway, most here don't give a RATS ASS about that INFERIOR Ubuntu. If you want to use it go ahead but we don't need or want to hear about it. Maybe I should report when I take a ****. |

Hotmail and Gmail are browser toolbar buttons. ;-) Also, my *only* interest in Ubuntu is limited to the few still using XP, because they can't afford to buy Vista or windows7.

I'd rather try to keep their XP machines running well until they can save up for a new $499 pc at Walmart. Hopefully, a Windows7 OEM. -- He's so narrow minded he can see through a keyhole with both eyes.

It sounds like the people you support would do better with a system that doesn't need the kind of updating and maintaining that XP/Vista/7 does but whatever turns you on. The only update they'll ever need for Ubuntu once you get it set up for them is to click on an orange icon near their clock, key in their password and watch. It can even be set to automatically update so they don't have to do anything but use their computer and not worry about malware, maintaining or updating. -- Alias |

(Retired, etc.) I would recommend you try it first before trying to get others to try it. Yes, that's my plan, on my old system that I only use for testing software. Again, only *if* I choose to go that route.

It can even be set to automatically update so they don't have to do anything but use their computer and not worry about malware, maintaining or updating. Better yet, I have all of their software and Windows set up to just automatically download and install updates at night, so all they do is reboot each morning. That takes care of system updates, anti-virus, etc. For the Vista users, I even told them which sidebar gadget to use for a big green restart button; no start menu action needed. If they're interested in a new program, I download/install it first on my test machine, *before* they do, and that has prevented many extras, like toolbars and malware, because I could tell them step-by-step what to click while installing, or tell them not to use it at all. So far, Windows7 looks much better than Ubuntu, even without a sidebar. -- A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience.
