You've obviously never tried to get a windoze user to switch over to Linux (shame on you!).
Elegant text/script based administration tools with simple, easy to use GUI's built on top is the right design IMO.
Nerdly nerds have all the power they need, while newbies, or people who want their computer to have the simplicity of a Mac (or supposed simplicity) can be happy.
I recently sent a customized RH distribution for my 14-year old brother install Linux. I think it's progress when that's possible. But he complains about the lack of a "Shutdown Picture" and "Bootup Picture". It would be nice to see one of the Linux distro's (and Caldera appears to be positioning themselves to do this) slave over all these details.
Unfortunately I found nothing in the documentation describing about how to assign a static IP address in order to do a network install (I wanted to do an NFS/FTP install on a CD-less machine). Is it DHCP only?

edit the netscape-communicator binary and replace the URL specified as internal_url.net_search.url with "http://www.google.com/search?q= ");
Be sure to *overwrite* the value that's there! Leave blank spaces where the previously longer URL had actual characters (otherwise this modified netscape binary will segfault).
And if you want the correct tooltips, do a search for "Search the Internet" and overwrite with "Search with Google.com" (string lengths ==:)
While you're at it, you might as well also do the same thing for that otherwise-useless "My Netscape" button. Look for toolbar.places.default_url in the binary:
Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot needs it's own Mercata-like buying site. Thousands of geeks buying the latest gadget cheap.
