Conectiva Linux 7.0 Review

Posted by michael on from the land-down-under dept.

Conectiva Linux was the first distribution to support APT-RPM, which cures most of the ails of typical RPMs. Their latest release even bundles a graphical front-end to APT, and brings the worlds of Debian and Red Hat together."

    The graphic front end gives you NO indication as to what it's doing or how long it'll take (or how much it's done).

    Gad. That's such an elementary design mistake. It's bad GUIs like this that convince people that GUIs suck. Most of the graphical software I see on free platforms seems to be written by people who hate graphical programs and want everyone else to hate them too.
